Shawn Scheller is a singer-songwriter from the Tampa Bay area. Well known as the lead singer/guitarist for TazBull Records Recording Artist: Save The Radio, a modern rock band who were, as of recently, one of the top live draws in the region landing on the Billboard charts in 2014 and reaching #37 on the Mainstream Top 40 Indicator Chart. STR's last performance was at the 97X Back Yard BBQ featuring top alternative acts as : Panic! at the Disco, AWOLNATION and Robert DeLong.
As the fate of Save The Radio remains undetermined, Shawn took to rebooting a solo career backed by a top-notch backing band of musicians he has named The Contenders. The live shows, both solo-acoustic and full ensemble, feature a mix of blue-eyed soul originals, Save The Radio songs and cover material ranging from the 40's Big Band era to what he refers to his "wheelhouse" a music known as sax driven/yacht rockin' retro 80's.
With brand new solo music currently in the works, a final Save The Radio album being set for release in 2016 as well a new alt-rock project, DeltaGhost forthcoming, the future is bright and busy for this indie artist...
