Shawn Mullins w/Jennifer Lynn Simpson

A throwback to James Taylor, Jackson Browne and other folky, soft-rock singer-songwriters of the ’70s, Shawn Mullins scored one of the biggest adult-alternative ballads of the ’90s with his uplifting single “Lullaby.” Though he’s never topped that success on the charts, he’s continued to record at a steady pace. In 2015 he released his ninth album, My Stupid Heart, through the independent labels Sugar Hill and Rounder Records.
