StudioWYO: J Shogren Shanghai’d and Matthew Wilburn Skinner

Additional Information

StudioWYO is excited to ring in the new semester with J Shogren Shanghai'd and Matthew Wilburn Skinner. This week of StudioWYO will also serve as an introduction for University of Wyoming’s new Center for Student Involvement and Leadership (CSIL). CSIL now encompasses many of our students’ favorite organizations, including 7220 Entertainment, ASUW Student Government, Campus Activity Center, our own StudioWYO, and many others.
Matthew Wilburn Skinner will be kicking off this lively event. Skinner is a solo singer/songwriter as well as one third of the band Tallgrass. Skinner brings a unique Delta blues/jazz fingerstyle on acoustic guitar, as well as a soulful banjo sound unlike any other. NPR Music states that “Matthew Wilburn Skinner has a dusty, hushed sound… beautiful, old…” Skinner now calls Fort Collins home, but began this journey over fifteen years ago in Iowa City.

Headlining the show will be J Shogren Shanghai'd from Centennial, Wyoming. Shogren brings roots and folk music with an unlikely contemporary twist, and is authentic and sincere in every line written. Shogren shows passion and awareness with each wry joke and eclectic songwriting. This indescribable band is certainly not one to be missed.
