Shawn Hawkins and the Offenders

Shawn's songwriting skills and swaggering vocals come from a place where Waylon Jennings is still alive and pickin'. Backed by the full melodic styling of the Offenders lead players and rock solid rhythm section the Offenders can rock the house, swing you across the dance floor, or give you the blues - in a good way. They play to a diverse crowd, sharing the stage with such artists as David Allan Coe, Dale Watson, The Derailers, The Seldom Scene, Jesse Dayton and Little Big Town to name a few. You can hear the song "Ain't No Use" in the gritty noir film "The Skin Horse".
