It has been some time since you've heard from
PRESTER JOHN, but that's only because we've been so busy playing, composing and writing. I, Shawn, am off to tour Europe in Nov. with the progressive rock band, FRENCH TV. I will be playing electric guitar with the band.

I am also finishing up work on an exciting guitar book project which will be available for the holidays. The book's concept is still "top secret" but the idea is highly unique. I have already received an overwhelmingly positive response from select artists and educators in the guitar community, many of whom have contributed to the project. I will be making a formal announcement, and taking pre-orders, once the book is ready for the printers. The photos above are just a few of the hundreds that may be used for the book cover.

will be happening once again this year. Mark your calendars for Dec. 1st at
St. John's Church in New Haven, CT.

Finally, for those who don't know about the massive $100 GUITAR PROJECT, well just click this link. NPR feature coming soon. Contributor's include: Shawn Persinger, Nels Cline, Fred Frith, Janet Feder, Del Rey, Mike Keneally, Henry Kaiser, Alex Skolnick, David Starobin, Elliot Sharp, Nick Didkovsky, Chuck O'meara, and many, many more!

More big news coming soon. Stay in touch and we hope to hear from you soon.
