Cedars, December 2017

December 2017 15 ART & ENTERTAINMENT Nowadays, they say that it’s hard for them to see themselves doing this process alone. They rely on each other not only as brothers, but also in their journey as musi- cians together. Brett and Shawn also have a younger brother who has inspired some of their songs. “Our relationship with Ian is weird and difficult,” said Shawn. Shawn said that Ian was there for a lot of their growing up and many of the major events in their lives. But when Shawn and Brett left for college, the two of themmissed out on a lot of Ian’s life. “We regret not being around a ton to watch him take the same steps we were tak- ing at his age, when he went to Europe for three months to play soccer, driving, etc,” Brett said. Shawn and Brett have continued to make music together not only to strengthen their bond together as brothers, as well as with Ian, but to also to share that relation- ship with others through their music. Their goal is to share their messag- es through their music with everyone who will listen. Even though music might not be something that they are currently pursuing career-wise, it is something they hope to do for the rest of their lives. They are currently working on two new songs, inspired by Ian, and are hoping to re- cord a small album in the future. As Shawn goes on to study at another school, and Brett goes on to continue studying athletic training, their paths will drift apart. But they know that no matter where God takes them, the memories they have shared, and the music they have played, will keep them together. River Soul Revival does not current- ly have a release date or any official goals. They plan to finish their new songs and are currently looking for people to help them in the recording process for a mini-album or an extended play.
