Shawn Jennings
Hometown: Caldwell, Texas
Unlike most musicians in the music business today who start playing and singing as soon as they are old enough to walk, Shawn did not really get into music until his early 20’s. He spent most of his youth hunting, fishing and riding bulls. After marrying his high school sweetheart Hollie, his spurs were hung up and traded for a guitar. Many a nights were spent around a campfire in the Texas hill country playing to friends into the wee hours of the night. Songwriting seemed to come natural as he could take something that people go through everyday and have a different perspective that people could really understand and relate to.
Soon his songwriting caught the ear of some talented local bluegrass musicians who helped him grow as a musician himself. The sing along parties also started growing until people were offering to pay to listen. The Southern Roots Band was formed and has been going strong for the last several years. They released their first CD in December 2003 and the second was released in September 2005. A blend of rock, country and bluegrass all inspire Shawn’s songwriting and musical taste with an honesty that is seldom heard in some of todays music.
Shawn and Hollie are the proud parents of two inspiring, singing daughters; LeAnn and Emily.
