History
Mullins served as a US Army officer before dedicating himself to songwriting.
He attended North Georgia College in Dahlonega, GA, and managed the marching band there for two years.
He was greatly influenced and inspired by rock singer-songwriters like James Taylor and country musicians such as Kris Kristofferson.
He attained fame when his song "Lullaby," from the album Soul's Core, became a radio and video hit. In the video for Lullaby, directed by Roger Pistole, actress Dominique Swain appeared. Another single, "Shimmer," was included on the soundtrack for the TV show Dawson's Creek and was a minor hit. He never matched the success of "Lullaby," however.
In early 2002, he formed the supergroup The Thorns with Matthew Sweet and Pete Droge.
He is known for playing many cover songs during his live performances, including "Copperhead Road" by Steve Earle.
He supported John Kerry during the 2004 Presidential Campaign, playing a benefit for him in Georgia along with former Senator Max Cleland and others.
Future
Shawn Mullins has a new recording scheduled for early to mid 2006.
