About The Reverend Shawn Amos
From West Coast clubs, to Deep South joints, to European festivals, to YouTube, to the podcast universe, the Reverend Shawn Amos' message of joyful blues is reaching an ever-increasing flock. The Rev's distinctive blend of black roots music, R and B, and stripped down rock n' roll brings a bracing, soul-deep musical experience to audiences starved for authenticity and connection. "I derive a lot of satisfaction bringing people joy," he says.
The Rev is artistic director of Vibrato Jazz Grill in Los Angeles, owned by longtime friend Herb Alpert, co-founder of the legendary A and M record label. "It's a full-circle experience," the Rev says of the Vibrato gig. As the son of entrepreneur and William Morris agent Wally "Famous" Amos, the Rev says, "I grew up on the A and M lot." As a producer, the Rev oversaw the reissue of Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass' catalog, and a remix of the classic Whipped Cream and Other Delights album.
