Real name: Žan Podgornik

Shaun Banks is the Slovenian one man band of musician Žan Podgornik, who's based in the 500-year-old mining town of Idrija, Slovenia. His music is fueled by punk rock energy and is fused in a garage with the soul and groove of blues. Shaped by the town's industrial and rural environment, Banks takes his fans on a journey through his energetic craftsmanship, heavily influenced by The White Stripes, The Black Keys and Robert Johnson. Playing guitar and foot drums simultaneously without the help of a looping pedal, accompanied by his powerful and colorful voice with bluesy harmonica fills is a guarantee for a great, live show.
