Release Notes:
--------
John Shaughnessy has had a lifelong fascination with the catchy tune. This
proclivity for pop provides the source of an inspired musical passion.
Shaughnessy's 2009 release, "Re-occurring Dream," represents the realization of
his "melting pot" artistic vision. Growing up around Philadelphia, John
developed his style organically by soaking up all the local sounds, creating
something unique while drawing liberally from his influences. A self-described
ôavid listenerö, it's that penchant for listening that shapes what he creates.
The resulting product is rhythmic and melodic, influenced by classics like the
Beatles, as well as todayÆs singer-songwriters. This broad-ranging CD is
multi-faceted, at times riveting, and in the next breath, ôjust plain fun.ö But
whether singing a heartfelt ballad or a silly pop song, John's warm, engaging
style connects with an audience. ShaughnessyÆs themes and moods range from
cynical to inspirational, from deep and spiritual to obliviously unaffected,
from expressions of desire and yearning to simple celebrations of the mundane
and the humorous sides of life. But while eclectic, itÆs all very ôaccessibleö,
with its strong foothold in pop tradition, and JohnÆs pleasant, emotive vocals
at the forefront. The albums tracks are masterfully produced by top tunesmiths,
including Smash Palace's Stephen Butler and Brett Talley of Ike, both mainstays
on the local Philadelphia scene. And as for the CD, "Re-occurring Dream" is most
definitely aptly named. It's a tour-de-force of pop music gems that will stay
with you, and play on over and over in your head. Enjoy.
