Shawn Mullins

Breakthrough Success

After a series of indie releases and growing buzz in the Atlanta music scene, Shawn Mullins experienced critical and commercial breakthrough when 1998’s "Soul’s Core" shot him to fame. This success was largely due to the Grammy-nominated No. 1 hit, "Lullaby," followed by the AAA/Americana No. 1 hit "Beautiful Wreck" from 2006’s "9th Ward Pickin’ Parlor."

Notable Collaborations and Features

His song, "Shimmer," was used in promotion of the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney and was included on the Dawson’s Creek soundtrack. His co-write "All in My Head" from 2008’s "Honeydew" was featured in episode one of the hit TV sitcom "Scrubs." Mullins also co-wrote the Zac Brown Band’s No. 1 country tune "Toes."

The Thorns Supergroup

In early 2002, he formed the supergroup The Thorns with Matthew Sweet and Pete Droge. "No Blue Sky" from the resulting album has become a modern-day classic.

Souls Core Revival

For the 20th anniversary of his breakthrough album, Shawn revisited the music of "Soul’s Core" by recording two new versions of the album. He calls this "Soul’s Core Revival." This is not a remix or a remaster of the original, but rather brand new recordings with new arrangements of the songs.

• One album features stripped-down solo performances, some on guitar, some on piano, and maybe one a cappella.
• The second is a new studio recording with his full band, Soul Carnival.
