In August American singer-songwriter SHAWNEY (Shawney Damisch) made her debut on the country scene when her single Tin Roof House was sent to country radio. Currently in Nashville her hopes and vision are to encourage and inspire people to just be their own person whilst being accepting of others. As an adopted child she resided in the small town of Marengo, Illinois growing up on a hay and cattle farm. This lifestyle helped nurture a love and passion for country music.
With its delicate acoustic chords, faint piano, and whining
steel along with Shawney’s velvet smooth comforting vocal you are drawn in from
the get-go.
This personal song wrestles with the emotions of an artist
moving to Nashville, that feeling of loneliness whist trying to find an identity.
She closes her eyes and recalls those childhood memories treasuring simple
times. This insightful number is uplifting with a positive message of finding strength
to pursue a dream.
Traffic
lights and city streets
Trying
to make it here on my own
Searching
for my song
Fallen
stars and broken dreams
Are
teaching me I need to be myself
And
to be strong
In the chorus there are some soaring lines and she raises
said tin roof with ease! The song is deliciously melodic with nice textured radio-friendly
production that captures the soulful heartfelt emotion. She is in the process
of song-writing in Music City with the promise of an EP in 2019. Based of this
winning vocal performance I’m excited to hear more because this is one of the
best songs I’ve heard in 2018 and is exactly the type of music I love to seek
out.

”Just starting out, a fine talent, it’s a beautiful singer-songwriter track with some country in there, very pleasant song, making her debut” - Marie Crichton Country Show BBC Radio Shropshire BBC Playlist
Shawney
in her own words about the song:
Tin Roof House was written by myself (Shawney Damisch), and my good friend and mentor Richard Mitchell. We have been writing together for almost a year now but wrote Tin Roof House about 6 months ago. When we sat down to write one day, I had expressed how I missed home and just started rambling on about my childhood.
Through conversation about talking about the things I missed the most about home, we realized we had a concept to start writing on. Richard was blow away by my story, my childhood, and my unique family.

Shawney in her own
words about the video
When
it came time to shoot the video
for Tin Roof House, it was so important to me that the
video captured he uniqueness of my family. My dad was a farmer,
an engineer, and a preacher.
My mom was the superintendent of
schools, and also helped on the farm, and of course took care of the kids which
in itself is incredible, because there were 7 of us.
Three of us kids were adopted (my brother, sister, and myself were abandoned in the streets of Chicago due to gang violence and the death of our biological mother), and 4 of them were their biological children.
This is why there is diversity in the children playing outside in the video and the scenes where the family is gathered around the "dinner table". The moments I am "remembering" in the video, are some of my best memories. Climbing trees with my brothers, running around outside, eating dinner together as a family, and gathering together as a family while my dad taught us about right and wrong.
The beautiful video was shown on the Ladies of Country shown on Europe’s only current 24/7 Country Music Channel Keep It Country TV (Sky 376, Freesat 516, Freeview 87) a weekly hour programme spotlighting female country music artists.

Behind The Scenes
Moving
onto the production of the video, Nate
Cornell was the producer for Tin Roof House. He built all the tracks
in the studio, and we actually didn't have any studio musicians
involved on this project. He is so incredibly talented at what he
does, and he was able to create each instrument on his computer without
actually using any instruments!
