Shawn McDonald

I started
listening to
Shawn McDonald
a few months ago
after hearing
'Gravity'
on the radio.
I bought his songs
'Gravity' and
'Take my Hand'
(from Simply Nothing)
on iTunes in June and I still haven't gotten
tired of them. 'Take my Hand' is actually my
favorite of the two. His first album, Simply
Nothing, was released in 2004.

I love how he plays the acoustic guitar and sings. His voice is great. I also bought Live in Seattle in July, and he sounds just as good in concert. He has 4 CDs out along with several singles. His music is ideal for fans of pop praise with a strong acoustic emphasis.

Coming from a recent past of drugs and alcohol, jail time, and dropping out of college, this is amazing and could only be because of God. To read an interview about his past, go to:

His testimony is also on his website.

Shawn married Kate, older sister of Christian recording artist, Bethany Dillon, on May 28, 2005. He has a son, Cohen, who was born on March 29th, 2007.

Shawn's new CD:


You can buy it on iTunes (comes with "Greed" music video- like the best song) or at a local store that sells CDs. This CD is awesome!!!!!! Clarity, Shadowlands, and Greed are definitely the best. His stuff on this CD is way better than Ripen or Scattered Pieces LIVE......definitely a return to his "roots"-- his 1st CD. Check it out- the acoustic guitar is awesome, esp. on the 3 aforementioned songs.
