Daryl Shawn is a guitarist, now living in Oaxaca, Mexico after ten years in San Francisco, CA. He has studied jazz, flamenco, and classical while playing loud guitar in bands ranging from the butt-clenchingly wacked Ojas to the just-slightly-left-of-center-indie-rock Maxwell Horse. Currently he composes for solo guitar and ensemble, is a experimenter with cassette tape loops (see chinapaintingmusic.com), and writes and performs in the classic singer/songwriter mode (see darylshawn.com).
