About
Shawnee grew up in Bellingham, Washington, learning guitar and writing songs wholly on her own as a teenager, initially motivated only by the dream of meeting and marrying rock star Daniel Johns, frontman of the Australian (then also teenage) band silverchair. Songwriting proved to be an altruistic calling and eventually led her to Austin, Texas where her fourth album, A Long and Precious Road, was among Texas Music Magazine’s albums of the year and landed her alongside artists like Kacey Musgraves and Leon Bridges on their list of Songwriters of Distinction. Since then Shawnee has grown determined to share as many of her 500+ songs as possible.
