Yay or Nay: Shawn Smith - Ring That Bell


Download Shawn Smith - Ring That Bell

Ring That Bell is off the new album "The Diamond Hand" released by the Seattle label Gator Records.

Named as one of the best vocalists of all time (MOJO magazine), SHAWN SMITH has had an incredibly long, diverse and highly respected musical career thus far. Shawn has been quite busy for the last 19 years fronting such bands as the jazz-infused rock of SATCHEL, the soulfulness tunes of BRAD (w/Pearl Jam’s Stone Gossard) and the electro funk sounds of PIGEONHED. He was also a founding member of THE TWILIGHT SINGERS with Greg Dulli, (Afghan Whigs, The Gutter Twins) who described SHAWN as, “Seattle’s best kept secret.”
