Let's make this birthday one to remember.

47 years old (Born on September 04, 1977)

Happy Birthday, Shawn McDonald! Another year older and still strumming strong—clearly your guitar strings age better than most of us. From soulful melodies in "Gravity" to the heartfelt honesty of "Closer," you've given fans countless reasons to smile (and occasionally cry) since 2004.

Here's hoping this birthday hits all the right notes, just like your albums always do. May you continue inspiring hearts with your authentic lyrics and captivating performances for many more years ahead. Keep rocking those stages—and remember: birthdays are nature's way of telling musicians it's time for another encore!

Cheers to you, Shawn!
