Shaun Groves simply cannot be defined. To call him a songwriter is accurate, as he displays such incredible lyrical prowess that his musical peers nominated him for Songwriter of the Year solely on the strength of his 2001 debut. To focus on his performances also reveals an aspect of his talent, as the lanky Texas native can hold his own standing solo or fronting his three-piece band. And his CDs certainly showcase an artist/musician in full bloom, constantly striving for excellence. However, none of these titles grasp the complete significance of the man or what he hopes to convey to audiences everywhere. Shaun Groves is a communicator, a man full of messages, ideas and a purpose that he is compelled to share, encapsulating everything one would hope an artist could be.
