‘Amethyst’ is the beautiful new single from six-string extraordinaire James Shanon. Throughout his career, Shanon has perfected a deeply personal, unique approach to his own finger style guitar playing. Whether it’s through arranging popular songs or writing his own delicate, emotive music, James has managed to make a name for himself as a hugely talented folk guitar hero; and his latest track certainly showcases this.

‘Amethyst’ tells a gentle & elegant story that we can all relate to; finding a moment to reflect & appreciate the simplest things in life. Much like the precious stone that inspires it, ‘Amethyst’ is a wonderful, joyous, beauty to behold that will take your breath away with every harmonious strum. Allow James’ charming song-writing to pull you away from life’s stresses, and let his calming, therapeutic guitar playing take you to a happier, more carefree moment in time.

Coming off the back of his stunning 2019 solo album ‘Peaceful Guitar’, ‘Amethyst’ is just another reason why James Shanon is a musician you should care about. Having spent most of his career thus far covering some of music’s all time greats, maybe 2019 will be the year that the world acknowledges the rise of a new one.

James Shanon 'Amethyst' is out now from all digital stores; including iTunes, Spotify and Amazon Music.
