Calendar Pick: Shawn Mullins

Shawn Mullins

Folk rock musician Shawn Mullins first became interested in music while growing up in Atlanta, taking to acoustic performance and even becoming acquainted with Indigo Girls member Amy Ray. He then went on to hone his skills as a solo performer and bandmaster of the military marching band at the University of North Georgia. After graduating, he released several studio albums before his 1998 song, “Lullaby,” from the album Soul’s Core launched him to stardom. The song became an Adult Top 40 hit and earned him a Grammy Award nomination for Best Male Pop Vocal Performance. Since then he has also had songs featured in television shows including “Scrubs” and “Dawson’s Creek.” His song “Shimmer” was used in promotion of the 2000 Summer Olympics. Mullins’ most recent studio release is 2018’s Soul’s Core Revival, for which he rearranged and re-recorded new versions of Soul’s Core for its 20th anniversary, including both stripped-back, acoustic versions and full-band versions of the original songs.
