J Shogren & the Shanghai’d

Music for your inner grifter

Hard acoustic roots music from a life lived in loud proportions.

J Shogren—his adventures have taken him from days as a trapper to an endowed professor. He splits his time between Wyoming and Stockholm, where he worked last year—unlikely as it sounds—as the King’s professor. Even more riotous, he was party to the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize as a member of the United Nations team working on climate change. Planet, Music.
