Shaun Tobar is an award winning recording artist and band, that play original country blues.
Shaun creates music that can be stripped right back and played on an acoustic guitar, treating songs as stories based on relationships and everyday experiences. He invests a lot in the song writing and production process spending hours in the studio to get the best out of the songs. His dad played in a band in the early 1960’s and so music was a big part of his childhood. He grew up listening to early Motown, 60’s pop and 70’s rock which has inevitably influenced the song writing and the Tobar sound.
Shaun is inspired by musicians that have overcome challenges in their life and have been able to express their experiences through their music. He loves storytelling and musicians that can connect with people through their songs and performances, citing artists such as John Lennon, The Beatles, Van Morrison, Johnny Cash, Chuck Berry, The Stones and ELO amongst many! The things that Shaun enjoys most is being in the moment, creating something meaningful with the band and being able to express it in a way that connects with others.
