Details:
John Shaughnessy is a South Jersey singer-songwriter who has always played for the love of the music. And it’s a lifelong fascination with pop and rock that is the driving force as well as the source of his musical passion. His 2009 release, "Re-occurring Dream," represents the realization of John''s "melting pot" artistic vision. Based around Philadelphia, John developed his style organically by soaking up all the local sounds, creating something unique while drawing liberally from his influences. A self-described “avid listener”, it''s that penchant for listening that shapes what he creates. The resulting product is rhythmic and melodic, influenced by classics like the Beatles, as well as today’s singer-songwriters. This broad-ranging CD is multi-fasceted, at times riveting, and in the next breath, “just plain fun.” But whether singing a heartfelt ballad or a silly pop song, John''s warm, engaging style connects with an audience. Shaughnessy’s themes and moods range from cynical to inspirational, from deep and spiritual to lightweight and superficial, from expressions of desire and yearning to simple celebrations of the mundane and the humorous sides of life. But while eclectic, it’s all very “accessible”, with its strong foothold in pop tradition, and John’s pleasant, breathy, emotive vocals at the forefront. And "Re-occurring Dream" is most definitely aptly named. It''s a tour-de-force of pop music gems that will stay with you, and play on over and over in your head. Enjoy.
