shawn james and the shapeshifters

Shawn James & The Shapeshifters will perform their upcoming album The Gospel According to Shawn James & The Shapeshifters for the first time on February 14 at The Smoke & Barrel Tavern in Fayetteville, AR. Joining them will be Denver, CO’s IN THE WHALE.

They had previously announced a Kickstarter campaign in support of their album, which can be found here.

SHAWN JAMES & THE SHAPESHIFTERS are a 5-piece rock band from Fayetteville, Arkansas. At first glimpse, you might confuse them with a bluegrass or metal band. Influenced by every type of music, and growing up in several heavy and folky bands, the sound is not what you would expect. With a different vibe for every EP released so far, they truly embody the phrase “shapeshifters.”
