“think a more rockin’ Patsy Cline……Dawn Shipley’s Sharp Shooters hit the target every time and deliver an excellent blend of ‘50’s honky tonk and Rockabilly in a very authentic fashion…” BSN Magazine.
Dawn Shipley and the Sharp Shooters, a Los Angeles based band, have a sound that is unique and inspiring, bringing in new fans each time they play. There is one good reason for this—darn good music. The music is mostly upbeat and fun, a mixture of rockabilly, hillbilly and rock-n-roll with elements of traditional rhythm and blues, jazz and honky tonk. The songs generally tell stories of love and loss, some humorously, some not so humorously. Overall, the stories are ones that most anyone can identify with, but written with Dawn’s quirky twist, which keeps each of them from being just another love song.
Their newest release, “Baby If I…” shows that the band has reached a new level of maturity. It is apparent in the songs that the band has become even more comfortable in adding their own personality to the many influences they draw from, creating a unique and enticing sound and separating them from the run-of-the-mill rockabilly artists that only recreate the traditional sounds.
