On KGNU’s Afternoon Sound Alternative, host Greg Schultz welcomes Shawn Hess, a singer-songwriter from Laramie, Wyoming, for a live in-studio performance. Hess plays several original songs, including Till It Ain’t, Roadhouse Blues, A Tear for You, and Harvest Me. Between songs, he discusses his background in music—from blues and psychedelic rock to folk—his 2024 album Wild Onion, and his upcoming tour that includes the Woodstove Festival on Vancouver Island. The two also chat about songwriting inspiration, guitars, and musical influences like Jimmy Reed, highlighting Hess’s down-to-earth humor and heartfelt storytelling. (Studio Session: 10/25/25)
