Artist description Shawson is a solo project by Matt Shaw, who has been a member of the local Sarnia, Ontario music scene for quite some time.-----------------------------I try to mix my favourite styles together to create something unique. I love blues guitar and its expression, and I try to bring the emotion of blues with the accessibility of pop and the power of rock. I also love reggae, dub, and world music for its universal quality and its timeless, laid back rhythms. This is all bullshit writing. The music simply rocks dude.

Music Style A mixture of rock, blues, funk, and world influences.

Musical Influences Eric Clapton, SRV, Dave Matthews, ZZ Top, Kenny Wayne Shepherd, Robert Johnson, Metallica, Wide Mouth Mason, Son House, Jimi Hendrix, Bob Marley, Sublime, Long Beach Dub All-Stars, Shaggy, The Getaway People, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Stone Temple Pilots
