Young Gun Silver Fox are a UK music duo consisting of
Shawn Lee and Andy Platts. The name is derived from Lee's silver locks and
Platt's membership of group Mamas Gun.
Lee is originally from Wichita, KS, who moved to London in 1995 and
has released many solo and collaborative albums numbering around
thirty.
Platts was born in Hong Kong moving to the UK aged 10. He played
guitar on Corrine Bailey Rae's debut self-titled album in 2005 shortly
before forming Mamas Gun in 2007 (with Terry Lewis (guitar), Dave
Oliver (keys), Chris Boot (drums) and Cameron Dawson (bass)) and
releasing their debut album "Routes To Riches" in 2009. He has
collaborated with luminaries such as Rod Temperton, John Oates and
Brian Jackson.
Together as Young Gun Silver Fox they have released four albums, beginning with "West End Coast" in 2015, and more than twenty singles. Their music is inspired by
the 70s/80s US west coast sound dubbed Yacht Rock/Yacht Soul.
The latest single "Moonshine" is released digitally today. The song must have been in the can for
a while as I notice Rod Temperton's name on writing credits who died
in 2016. It has already seen pre-release on 7" vinyl by Légère
Recordings which includes "Tip Of The Flame" from their last album "Ticket To Shangri-La" on the flip, and may only be available from live shows.
