Shawn has come in recent years to be known as a songwriterıs songwriter, and his velvet baritone is the perfect vehicle to bring his work to life. His critical breakthrough came in the late '90s when his song "Lullaby," from the album Soul's Core, became a radio and video hit (in the video, directed by Roger Pistole, actress Dominique Swain appeared). In early 2002, he formed the supergroup The Thorns with Matthew Sweet and Pete Droge. His latest is "Honeydew", a beautiful collection of new material that some have called his best work to date.
