"Mafia’s slice of spoken word stories straight from the streets, and anthems of penny ante gamblers down on their luck and sliding still, are emerging poetic visions, the way an overexposed face rises out of the background gray of a cheap Polaroid snapshot. With the persona of a carny barker’s bastard preacher son out in front of the sideshow tent,Mafia is on a mission to tell stories you might not want to hear, about people you never wanted to meet.He tells them with the ring of truth. Some of that comes from his personal story." |

Description: Still on fire after opening for Concrete Blonde last Valentines day 04' in Santa Ana, CA. Shawn Mafia and the Ten Cent Thrills are busting away on some more gin soaked harmonics as we speak. Check out what Mafia has been up to at ShawnMafia.com
Latest News: When Mafia was 12 years old, his probation officer at the time, told him to get a hobby and stay off the streets. It was either joining the local 4-H club or learning to strum the guitar. He opted for the latter.
