We are delighted to bring you the debut UK headline performance from Shawn Lee and Andy Platts’ new project Young Gun Silver Fox!

Young Gun Silver Fox
A collaboration album between established USA artist Shawn Lee and UK artist Andy Platts, Young Gun Silver Fox’s debut album ‘West End Coast’ is a loving homage to the smoothest sounds of the 70s. Every song leaves you grasping for the reference point, as they swing between the sweetest hooks from the best of the Doobie Brothers, Issac Hayes, Michael Jackson and Steely Dan.
