The Story of „Shawn &amp; the Wolf“



After purchasing a guitar in Wolf's music store Shawn asked his friend to give him a few lessons. Wolf agreed to teach Shawn in exchange for trombone lessons. At the end of Shawn's first guitar lesson they switched instruments and played through a few jazz standards. From that point on the duo was formed. Wolf never received a trombone lesson and Shawn put guitar lessons on permanent hold.



The uniqueness of the sound



Guitar and trombone are two instruments seldom heard together but it is this combination that inspired Shawn and Wolf to find fitting music and write interesting arrangements for themselves. Upon hearing the duo you might sometimes think that you're hearing more than just two musicians. Wolf's technique, in fact, incorporates bass and percussive sounds not normally associated with the guitar.



Why they do it



The decision to bring their music to the stage came very naturally to Shawn and Wolf. It was simply the next step to bring the joy they have making music together to a wider audience.
