about
The Reverend Shawn Amos is a Los Angeles-based, chart-topping
bluesman ready to turn any venue into a 1960s’ Chicago blues
club. His foot-stomping, harp-wailing performances, like tent
revivals of yore, energize the faithful, and convert the wayward
to the Rev’s message of booty-shakin’, deeply joyful blues.
The Rev came up in 1970s Los Angeles, at the feet of musical
legends like Marvin Gaye and Quincy Jones, as well as all manner
of Hollywood street folk. The son of music agent-turned
entrepreneur, Wally “Famous” Amos, and R&B nightclub singer,
Shirlee May, Shawn found music early, and has worked within it his
entire adult life. His rich career as a producer includes overseeing
new music and retrospectives from R&B blues legends Solomon
Burke, John Lee Hooker, and Johnny “Guitar” Watson, and scores
of other legacy acts.
Quotes:
“What a tight and exhilarating show, fantastic!”
-Blues Magazine
“The Reverend Shawn Amos, a showman not to be missed!”
