Calling All Bands!
Shawn was an artist who kept his talents from the world. He was raised in Northern California. Shawn made everyone in his presence feel important and loved. He lit up the room and you couldn’t help but smile when he was near. Shawn gave to others until he had nothing left to give…then he'd give a little more. Shawn was a Godly man and had a successful marriage and raised 6 wonderful children.
While going for a swim in the Klamath River on July 10th with his family, he got injured and began to struggle. I never lost hope that there was somehow some way he was waiting for me at every bend. Unfortunately, after many days and nights searching, he was found on July 13th in the river, drowned.
Shawn had a love for all music and had been writing songs since he was an early teen. Shawn was a self-taught guitarist who also made his own guitars. He grew up with a love for Rap, R&B, Classic Rock, and Hip Hop. As an adult he also found a love for Metal music. He spent some time as a production manager for concerts and in the end he just truly loved any music that contained a guitar.
Shawn will take his last boat ride from the mouth of the Klamath River to Blue Creek. Shawn has always valued his Native American traditions.
Shawn wished to go out with a bang and have the biggest party. The location has an abundance of space for an unlimited amount of guests. If your band or a band you know chooses to play in the Celebration of Shawn’s Life, we will cover your stay, food, drinks, and it will be an unforgettable experience!
If interested, please contact below as soon as possible.
Thank you for your time…

Coming home well equipped, educated and self made.
I got a little gray but still rockin’ the same fade.
Battle tested by those that hated me most.
I go hard in the paint, no look pass to the post.
People looking at me like they’re seeing a ghost.
Thought they saw my brother, didn’t know I was back on the coast.
I’m coming back with a purpose. So say goodbye to the old days, still stuck in their old ways.
I know some people talking shit but fuck what they all say.
Respect is what I’ve earned so respect is what I’m paid.
It’s respect that I’m collecting so expect I’m on the way.
You can stay a piece of shit, I’ll keep it one of a kind.
A diamond is forever but never blings for the blind.
Yeezy song Diamonds might as well have been mine.
We’re gonna see some stormy weather but we’re still gonna shine.
This is a mother fuckin jungle and the king will survive.
Don’t be acting like a wolf in the presence of sheep.
Not me mothafucka, not my family tree.
You see dogs roll in packs and lions roll in prides.
So you can go lick your sack while the lions arise and all lyin aside I’m a lion inside and the realest mothafucka alive.
If you don’t believe that go ask one of my pride and believe God is on somebodies side.
So say your prayers and take notice, the champ has arrived.
Shawn has written more verses than I can count so reach out if you’d like to purchase some one of a kind lines.
