Saturday, April 12th, 2025 will be another magical night in El Paso
as the Junior League of El Paso, Inc. presents Storytellers!
With a new set of artists, The Storytellers will be an unforgettable experience!
Storytellers is a unique event featuring three acclaimed artists who share the stories behind their award-winning songs, and then perform them in an intimate, acoustical setting. This event provides the audience with an amazing opportunity to hear the meaning, personalities and stories behind the music, straight from the songwriters themselves. Knowing those stories, you never hear the music in quite the same way again. This special event appeals to men and women alike, to people who love any music genre, to people who love the deeper meaning of stories, and to people who want to help the Junior League continue its great work in the El Paso community. Funds raised at this event will be invested in the Junior League of El Paso Endowment Fund, and will be used to sustain, expand, and initiate the amazing community projects and programs presented by the Junior League of El Paso, Inc.

Some careers can be described with a couple of words, but Shawn Camp's isn't one of them. A bold and distinctive singer, a songwriter who's provided material for artists ranging from Ralph Stanley, Del McCoury and Ricky Skaggs to Garth Brooks, Alan Jackson, Porter Wagoner, Loretta Lynn and Brooks & Dunn, with hits such as “Two Pina Coladas” (Garth Brooks), “Nobody But Me” (Blake Shelton), “Would You Go With Me” (Josh Turner), “River Of Love” (George Strait), and Billy Currington’s hit single “Love Done Gone”.
Along with being a hit writer, he is a gifted multi-instrumentalist who's played as a touring/recording musician with everyone from Jerry Reed, Trisha Yearwood, Shelby Lynn, and Alan Jackson to the Osborne Brothers, Guy Clark and John Prine.
Camp also co-produced a compilation tribute album for his friend and hero Guy Clark, which was #1 on the Americana Charts for several weeks in the spring of 2012, and voted Americana Album Of The Year 2012. This Album was also Grammy nominated for Folk Album Of The Year 2012. Then Shawn co-produced and won the Grammy for Folk Album Of The Year-2013, for Guy Clark's "My Favorite Picture Of You".
Camp's music sprawls across the lines that divide Country, Americana, Bluegrass and roots Rock. His solo records, The self titled SHAWN CAMP (Warner Bros), Lucky Silver Dollar, Fireball and 1994, further prove Camp to be one of Nashville's most unique talents.
He also is a member of The World Famous Headliners; an All Star Band made up of Camp and veteran writers Big Al Anderson and Pat McLaughlin, along with Michael Rhodes and Greg Morrow.
Any time day or night, he is either writing songs, performing shows, or recording. His life's work, speaks for itself.
