About Vendor 

Learn more about this vendor for your event.

Daryl Shawn is a Berklee-educated solo guitarist who has performed in 33 U.S. states as well as Canada and Mexico. With a background in jazz, flamenco, rock and world music, he has an exceptionally diverse repertoire, including five albums of his original music. In addition to performances at Club Cafe, The Pittsburgh Winery, Three Rivers Arts Festival, Wigle Whiskey, and The Priory, The Pittsburgh Cultural Trust features Shawn every Friday at the Backstage Bar, inside the Greer Theatre across the street from Heinz Hall. He specializes in instrumental music, and crafts every performance to the tastes of the crowd, from gentle melodies to bursts of flamenco energy. His repertoire, which he plays entirely from memory without sheet music, spans everything from classic jazz to modern pop, folk tunes and classic rock, from the Beatles to Dire Straits to Paul Simon to Ed Sheeran and beyond. With a big smile on his face and a complete command of his nylon-string guitar, Shawn exudes a positive and masterful warmth that graces any occasion.
