Catchy and melodic folk/pop. It’s a little bit Shins, it’s a little bit Snow Patrol, and it’s even a little bit Jack Johnson.

notes
Shawn Hebb is a dynamic songwriter/multi instrumentalist with a knack for writing catchy songs with heartfelt lyrics.
His latest album Tourist is a lo-fi, roots based, country flavored pop album with strong imagery and feeling. Recorded and mixed in his small lakeshore apartment, Tourist is full of radio friendly melodies and clear honest lyrics.
**************
“Shawn Hebb is definitely a melody guy, right down to the handful of tasteful guitar solos...warm-up your vocal cords, there's plenty to sing along to.” Kevin Zarnett – The Muses Muse
**************
“Easy, breezy, jangly guitar pop is the order of the day for Shawn Hebb. Guitarist, pianist, singer, lyricist, and former army brat, Hebb is a multi-talented performer, and Tourist is the shimmering product of all that talent.
Hebb’s got those kind of vocals that ring of normalcy and comfort, and sound like they could be coming from that earnest English major who lives two doors down in res, never to be seen without guitar in hand. That might sound more like an insult than a compliment, but a compliment it is nevertheless—not everyone needs to be Jeff Buckley anyways.
It’s a little bit Shins, it’s a little bit Snow Patrol, and it’s even a little bit Jack Johnson. But most important of all, Tourist is all good. “

A Charm
author: Lee ArmstrongShawn Hebb's "Tourist" is a good independent release. He writes catchy short pop tunes that have charm. The opening track is "Some Things." Shawn's breezy vocals front his one-man-band band arrangement that boasts a driving midtempo beat, "I woke up this morning, my hand reached out to touch your hair; With some contemplation, I realized you were not there. You left last evening." "This May Be the Last Time" is another pop gem where his fast-paced lyric is married to a catchy melody that jumps into your head and won't leave, "There's got to be more than wasting my day in this dead-end job." Hebb's voice is a bit thin, but serves the material well. While not all of the songs are equally memorable, the best of the bunch shows this young artist has potential. This is a charming release. Enjoy!
