One of the dreams of Habañero Collective has always been to promote culture, community, music, art, and the overlap of all of the above. Sometimes we’re lucky enough to work right alongside some mighty talented people.
One of those people is Arizona’s own Shawn Skinner. Shawn has played around town both solo and with his band The Men of Reason.
Shawn grew up playing in a family band all over in Arizona. But that’s not why we’re posting today. In 2013, Shawn opened for Denison Witmer at the Last Exit Live in Phoenix. The set was recorded and released as Skinned Alive At The Last Exit. But that’s not why we’re posting today. Then, in 2016, Shawn released his debut album Letting Go and Holding On with his band the Men of Reason. We highly recommend it, but that’s not why we’re posting today. Shawn also plays guitar and sings harmonies with Habañero Collective friends Some Dark Hollow. They’re terrific, and we highly recommend catching them live if you can. But that’s not why we’re posting today.
We are posting today because, in 2013, we had the privilege of working with Kha Do to record two videos of Shawn walking in the middle of nowhere. No overdubs.
First is “Mainstay”
Next up is “You Better Not Miss”
One of the dreams of Habañero Collective has always been to promote culture, community, music, art, and the overlap of all of the above. One of the ways we set about this has been by hosting house shows. Concerts. In or at your home. We highly recommend you try hosting one.
In 2011, we were lucky enough to host (the sadly missed) Seryn on a return to Phoenix.. We hosted them at the Thomas Listening Room and our friend Kha Do was there to record, film, edit, and publish and all that good stuff. They were touring in support of their fantastic debut album This Is Where We Are. Though the lineup had changed, the heart of the group and the music had not.
Here is “Spoke”
Here is “Beach Song” from the 2011 release This Is Where We Are.
Though Seryn is mostly gone, you can still support them at Bandcamp.
