biographical info
Since his emergence onto the Toronto music scene, Shawn Sage is rapidly gaining a reputation as one of the city’s finest new songwriters and most dynamic live performers. His songwriting, poignant and insightful - often sly and witty - has inspired comparisons to Bob Dylan, Tom Waites, John Prine, and Todd Snider. Eclectic musically, an average Shawn Sage live show will contain rock, country, blues, pop, and even flamenco! As well, Shawn is an energetic performer with witty between-song banter and a flair for spontaneity. Performing solo or with his band, he has charmed audiences across Ontario. As a result his debut album, ONE OF THE GOOD GUYS, was met with great anticipation upon its release on November 5th 2003.
