    So crazy to see the timing of this [4/05]. 
    Just as other misinformation spread so soon after his passing (like the whole diabetes thing), he did not pass on 4/5. He was found on 4/5. He was last heard from on 4/2, I believe, and didn't show up to the studio on 4/3 which was not like him.
    My bad.

    Like I said - (and... not that it’s all that important given the magnitude of his passing) I stumbled onto the article in the Seattle Times which states 04/05:

    https://www.seattletimes.com/entertainment/music/soulful-seattle-singer-shawn-smith-dead-at-53/

    Regardless of when, the bottom line is that it still sucks that he’s gone. 

    Have been seeing PJ and their related projects/bands since 98. I feel like his passng is yet another reminder that all ‘this’ is temporary and fleeting (none of us are getting any younger). So enjoy the moment(s) while you can. :-)

    Saw him play in the UK the day after Chris Cornell died, was magical and I do feel blessed to have been able to see him - his music is beautiful and I'm a little heartbroken to hear the news. Will be spinning The Family later.
    Shawn performed in San Francisco with a band named Stenner Glen last September. They played "For So Long" from The Family. I got to thank Shawn for playing that song after the show, as it's one of my favorites. Love that whole album.

    Nice, that's a great song. Was San Francisco his last ever show?
    He played a show at Cafe Racer in Seattle on Jan 26th.

    WOW. So sad. This really hits close to home. Buttercup voice, kind and gentle soul. Too young. So glad I saw Brad quite a few times. Extreme condolences to his family, and Stone and Regan. Tears.

    Can't believe it's been a year already. I've taken a break from Gigaton for a couple of days to immerse myself in Shawn's work

    The loss of Shawn still feels raw. I've been wondering lately how he would have been motivated musically with current World events.
