  • Description

    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.




    "What a tight and exhilarating show, fantastic!"
    -Blues Magazine



    "The Reverend Shawn Amos, a showman not to be missed!"
    -The Blues Alone

    "The blues is about the truth and Mr. Amos is always in search of it"
    -Steve Jordan
