"Singer-songwriter
Shawn Snyder, an occasional South Florida resident,
was just returning from circling the nation in a Hyundai,
brand-new when he left, that now boasts 19,000 miles...Those
months on the road found Snyder, a Harvard-educated
sometime teacher who has made the conscious decision
to live out of his car in pursuit of what he loves,
learning some valuable lessons about themes as varied
as border security and the kindness of strangers..."

"He may be the hardest-working solo-artist in South Florida...The first time I saw Snyder live...he played counterpoint to the list of pop-punk bands who followed and reminded the room that songwriting matters. This album [DoG EAred PagES] serves up the same notice, filled with well-crafted acoustic ballads that would serve as an ideal soundtrack for the early-morning hours of a long road trip, a lazy day by the pool or, yes, an afternoon at your favorite coffeehouse with a warm mug of a highly caffeinated beverage."

"In this bright blip of awareness, you absorb a strain of Snyder's corduroy voice glowing over an accessibly literate verse like "I got everything that I hoped for, nothing that I planned/Put time inside a test tube, drank karma from a can." It's kind of a perfect, synchronous moment; you're drawn into the setting and the song and Snyder's impeccably strummed acoustic guitar and it all produces the kind of mellowed stimulation you'll never get pounding Budweisers in a dim, noisy bar."
