In a recent interview with NPR's Karen Grigsby Bates for Weekend Edition, Amos discussed his upbringing in the gritty 1970's Hollywood scene, the influence of his relationship with his well-known parents, and his musical evolution into a modern blues evangelist. You can listen to the full interview HERE.
 
Amos was also recently a featured musical guest on Good Day New York, as well as ABC News and Classicalite.
 "Every road I’ve travelled has led me here. I found myself with the blues." With this declaration, Amos debuted his new album The Reverend Shawn Amos Loves You via Allmusic. Amos "...sounds enthusiastic and invigorated on The Reverend Shawn Amos Loves You..." writes Allmusic, "brimming with confidence, combining his bluesy vocal with sharp electric guitars and some well-placed horns and piano."

The son of chocolate chip cookie magnate Wally “Famous” Amos and night club singer Shirl-ee May Ellis, Amos is dedicated to continuing, extending and spreading the tradition of the blues with unsurpassed fervor and emotional expression. Born in New York City, raised up on the gritty Sunset Strip in the seventies and preceding his performing career with many successful musical ventures, Amos breaks nearly every cliché with his talent and unstoppable drive. The album marks the producing debut of 2x Grammy nominee, Mindi Abair.
 
The Reverend Shawn Amos attributes his diverse background to growing up in the colorful Hollywood landscape. Prior to becoming a blues preacher — and ordained minister with the Universal Life Church —Amos was an A&R executive at Rhino Entertainment and vice president of A&R at Shout! Factory, where he produced and recorded multiple Grammy-nominated projects. He produced broadcast, DVD and audio titles for legacy artists ranging from Heart to Quincy Jones, for whom Amos later ran the Listen Up Foundation. Throughout Amos' childhood and adulthood, his mother suffered from schizoaffective disorder and ultimately committed suicide in 2003. The trauma of the event and his subsequent discovery of her early singing career were the inspiration behind his 2005 album release, Thank You Shirl-ee May. Amos has released five albums of music, including his 2014 release, The Reverend Shawn Amos Tells It, a collection of blues originals and covers that received much acclaim from the blues & roots world, and the sophomore blues album The Reverend Shawn Amos Loves You.
