About Boyd Media, LLC, / SharkeysTreehouse.com

I am Shawn Boyd, or Sharkey, the nickname given to me by family members by mistake in 1994. Some of them just don’t hear very well! But it stuck.

I grew up in a family full of the sounds of big band, classical, country, bluegrass, folk and rock-n-roll. My dad played the trumpet, trombone and French horn in the NORAD Band, playing and recording in some of the most notable venues around the world. I briefly studied trumpet and drums in school, but didn’t have the discipline to stick with ’em formally. I am not a music snob, nor do I pretend to know everything about all artists — I’m doing this music discovery video podcast/streaming show, in part, as another way to learn more about the art I love. I admire true talent and the passion and tenacity it takes to make music for a living.  Sharkey’s Treehouse is the modern-day version of the hideaway I had as a kid – a place to talk about music, girls and life.  Only now, I’m showcasing musicians and bands in a new, one-of-a-kind podcast. Additional bonus HD video of podcast sessions will live at Sharkey’s Treehouse too!  Inspired by music shows of the past, and artists past and present in many genres, Sharkey’s Treehouse is your portal to musician interviews and performances. Don’t be shocked if you hear a funk band one week, punk the next, followed by country then by reggae and rock. While this tree house is rooted at The Rink Studios (TRS) in Sacramento, California, I often travel to the artist for you, my fellow music enthusiast.
