What they're saying
“ This is a young man who has the world at his fingertips and if he takes care of himself and his talent, we've got a crisp and shiny new star on our hands.” -Memphis Mojo
“ His guitar work is professional and first-rate entertainment and his vocals will remind you of the true fervor and emotion of Buddy Guy. Full Circle is an unquestionable treat.” -Musicians Realm
“ His remarkable work and gorgeous presence is a delight to see and a shame to miss.” -Josslyn Mikowm, Austin Monthly Magazine
“ Shawn plays with the energy of a rebel rock n' roller, and the depth and soulfulness of a seasoned bluesman.” -Blues Bytes
“ This guy makes heads turn, ears perk up and bodies move.” -Southwest Blues
“ Pittman commands his guitar to speak the string slingin' language of the Lone Star State.” -Art Tipaldi (Blue Revue)
“
Chops plus soul equals dynamite!”
-Jazz Times
“ Watch out for this guy, he's no flash in the pan!” -Northeast Blues Society (BLUES Print)
“ Pittman takes no back seat to anyone on the road today.” -John Myers (Duluth News-Tribue)
“ If Texas had succeeded in becoming an independent country, its single largest export might well have been blues/rock guitar players. Shawn Pittman is another in a long, long line of six-string slingers to come out of the Lone Star State. His debut offering on Cannonball Records serves up plenty of hard-edged playing. Pittman backs it up with a strong voice and enough twenty-something brashness to take on Hound Dog Taylor's "Give Me Back My Wig" and make it work.” -James Rewindl (Associated Press Writer)
