SHAWN MCGOVERN
Shawn, our bassist extraordinaire, is a 30 year veteran of the music scenes in Dallas, Chicago, and Cincinnati. He has performed and recorded with a long list of talented musicians, including Leah Marr, Maylee Thomas, Elle and Elle, Rude Mood, and the Flying Roosters, just to name a few.
Citing influences in John Entwistle, Geddy Lee, Steve Harris, and Chris Squier, Shawn lays the foundation of our sound with an absolutely rock-solid groove. His tasteful, musically intelligent approach to playing is at once understated and incredibly powerful: the very definition of a bass player.
His goal in Radio Roulette is to make you twerk involuntarily, so watch out.
Fun Facts:
- Shawn has written numerous original songs that have not yet been released. Someday soon, perhaps?
- Outside of music, he enjoys over-analyzing everything and then second-guessing himself. Oh, and watching his kid's sports games.
Some of Shawn's Favorites:
- Band: Riverside, Steven Wilson, KXM
- TV Show: Spongebob Squarepants
- Food: Giordano’s Pizza
- Beverage: Root Beer
- Movie Quote: "That's like...your opinion man"
