Shawn James, who rose to fame when his haunting ballad Through the Valley was featured in The Last of Us Part II trailer, is reaching new milestones in his music career. He continues to expand his international presence as he's set to tour Australia in October 2025 and has plans for a major world tour in 2026. These tours will line up with the release of his new album, expected in 2026, giving fans a chance to hear new music live.
Whether he's performing alone with his acoustic guitar or with a full band, Shawn James has earned a reputation for delivering powerful, unforgettable live performances. His music consistently explores themes of struggle, redemption, and the complexities of human nature, resonating deeply with audiences worldwide.
His journey from Chicago to global fame stands as a testament to his artistry. Raised around gospel, blues, and rock, he found his singing voice in church choir early on. Later, after working as a sound engineer and performing in metal bands, Shawn James carved out his own distinctive musical path, creating a sound that bridges the raw emotion of folk storytelling with the intensity of rock.
Adding to his achievements, the song Through the Valley was recently featured in The Last of Us Season 2 on HBO. In the show, Ashley Johnson, the voice actress from the video game, sang the song during a key moment, making it the episode's closing theme. The song first gained attention in 2016 when it appeared in The Last of Us Part II trailer, where the character Ellie sings it throughout. Since then, it has built a strong following among fans of the game and series.
Shawn James also released his version of Bad Moon Rising, the well-known Creedence Clearwater Revival song, on April 11, 2025. This full-band cover blends his distinctive Americana, indie-folk, and folk-rock sound, breathing new life into the classic. Fans can expect a vibrant, heartfelt performance that captures James's style. He also has plenty of new performance videos lined up this year. He's excited to reach fans worldwide.
