True story - I saw Shawn at The Sunflower Lounge in Birmingham on what was his final UK tour (2017). The gig was sublime and at the end he walked off stage, through the audience and stood by the door so he could thank everyone for coming and shake their hand as they left. Pure class - a wonderful man and greatly missed.
I had the incredible fortune of meeting Shawn before one of his acapella shows in London, May 2017. The same day in fact that Chris Cornell died. I Bought him a beer and asked him to play one of his lesser known songs... "If you could make it good" from Discovery Park. He chuckled and said he couldn't remember how to play it. Such a down to earth humble guy. I was terribly sad on the day he died.
Lollapalooza 96 San Jose with Metallica, Soundgarden, Devo, Ramones, Rancid, etc I was most excited to see Satchel on the side stage. Which wasn't even a stage. Going through a listening binge right now.

One of a kind
The man was a genius and a genuinely beautiful human being. Miss him every day

Glad you could see him, what a wonderful musician
What a wonderful talent🙏
Like all true treasures, only a few will find them.
I can't imagine a world in which his music isn't a part of my life's soundtrack.
One of the very best
Incredible 🙏
Rest in peace. Shawn
