Based in the West Midlands, Shropshire and Worcester, the ISSA award winning artist, Shaun Tobar is a four peice band that play original country blues.

 

Shaun Tobar originally fronted the highly acclaimed indie rock back the Daniels before signing to Surgery Records where he began introducing elements of ‘country’ to enhance his song writing talent. This didn’t go unnoticed as he received a number of nominations at the Josie Music Awards in the country music heartland of Tennessee USA.

 

More nominations followed and Shaun developed a global audience across the USA, Canada and Africa boasting a Social media reach of over 350,000. With a desire to work with a band again, Shaun left his label to go independent and recruited former Daniels drummer Duane Poole, bassist Jase Dudley and guitarist Andy Clarke. This saw the Tobar sound adding a ‘bluesy’ flavour to the sound.

 

The acoustic album ‘One for the Road’ was released and at the International Singer Songwriter Awards (ISSA) 2022, held in Atlanta USA, Tobar won in the category for best international album.
