Young Gun Silver Fox is a collaboration between Mamas Gun singer Andy Platts and (silver-haired) producer, composer and multi-instrumentalist Shawn Lee. On their first two records, “West End Coast” and “AM Waves”, we had our first introduction to their version of melodic funk from the seventies. Their fourth album, “Ticket to Shangri-La”, does exactly what it says on the tin: take the listener to a magical, mythical world of sunshine and good vibes.
Platts’ voice fits in perfectly with the mix of classic, melodic Westcoast pop rock and funk soul. Young Gun Silver Fox offers a perfect combination of the bands of yesteryear, like America, Steely Dan, Fleetwood Mac, Hall & Oates and The Doobie Brothers, yet without ever losing their own style and vision or sounding artificial. We can look forward to a pleasant show in Openluchttheater De Goffert this Summer.
