John Baumann has established himself as equal parts brilliant songwriter and captivating entertainer. He’s released several solo releases, while honing his songwriting skills and landing cuts with other artists – from Kenny Chesney to the Randy Rogers Band he is not short on innate talent and storytelling. He is also a member of the acclaimed group, The Pandhandlers, along with Josh Abbott, William Clark Green and Cleto Cordero (of Flatland Calvary). He is currently working on a new solo project, as well as a new Pandhandlers album, both available in the near future.
To call Charlie Shafter a “songwriter’s songwriter” is, in some respects, a backhanded compliment to the Texas by way of Illinois songwriter. His refined songwriting chops rely on a well-read vernacular and an aged perspective that feels wise beyond his years. Many of his songs display Shafter’s knack for sharp fingerpicking melodies and aesthetically pleasing rhythms.
Shafter is a calming force and unquestioned presence throughout his newly released album, When I Was Yours And You Were Mine. He shapes up to not only be a gifted songwriter, but a commanding voice within the Americana and country scene.
