Shawn Pennington

I can perform music for up to 4 hours.
I can perform Walk-Around Magic for up to 3 hours.
For music: I can play the smallest venue with minimal gear and I can play larger events bringing a PA system with up to 4 speakers if needed.
For the time being, I play solo, typically acoustic guitar and I sing and use a harmonizer pedal for vocal harmonies giving it a nice full sound for just a solo artist.
I play all types of rock music from classic, to Indie, to Folk, to Pop, to Alternative.
I can bring fun lighting and other items to create a special atmosphere.
For Walk-Around Magic I simply walk around the venue and perform magic tricks for different groups of guests. This is a great ice breaker for guests and can create memorable moments and special moments.

Hi, I am Shawn. I would say first, I am a song writer, then a guitarist/vocalist, then a magician. My passion is creating and performing.
I have a diverse background. I was an athlete, a fisher, a backpacker, a hunter, a martial artist, an avid reader, an engineer etc. But my main passion was always creating and building something. I used to physically build all kinds of things as a kid and once I learned I could build and create music my obsessive nature took off running. I have fully written about 60 songs and have about 100 in the hopper. Its always exciting to share my personal creations with others. I also learn and play a good amount of covers songs because there are so many great songs out there and each song teaches you something. I'll put a list of some of the covers I perform in the Set list section. Needless to say, I have enough material to fit almost any kind of gig.
I have always been very reserved so performing live started off as quite the challenge. I was the kid in class that hardly ever spoke a word. So it was quite a career path to choose to pursue. But I took the bull by the horns and just went for it, becoming a little more comfortable with every performance I did. Then, because I couldn't stop there, I got into performing magic tricks. I was always enamored by people like David Blaine, bringing smiles and wonder to people every where with just a deck of cards. With already having finger dexterity from playing music, I was able to pick up magic pretty quickly. I have enough material to do just Walk-Around-Magic for a few hours or I can combine and do magic before or after a musical performance.
I'm very easy going and flexible. If I get hired for a gig, I do my best to make everyone involved have a great time.
Reach out any time!

I require much. An outlet to plug sound equipment in to. A canopy if playing outdoors in rainy weather.
I can provide my own sound equipment or plug into the existing PA.
