About Me

Courtesy of TheInvisiblebox.com

The best part about experiencing a Shane Gooding show is that you never, ever forget you saw Shane Gooding sing. Concurrently you fought the urge to dance and felt time change listening to some of the most authentic and skilled guitar playing in town. There are hardly a handful of real artists today walking the streets of Southern California who play a couple hundred songs and actually wrote some of the better ones. His overall talent is staggering, and his inspiring charisma is supported by a natural stage presence that screams originality. Crowds consist mostly of people who value good songwriting: college kids, jealous musicians and interestingly enough, really fun-loving lesbians.
Currently playing shows at some of the most respected Long Beach and Los Angeles venues and channeling a raw, matter-of-fact soulful roots folk/blues reminiscent of a young Bob Dylan, Mr. Gooding will undoubtedly one day earn a page in the history books of American music. The East-Coast rock and roll scene was the backdrop to his musical maturation and his influences range from Leadbelly to Al Green on through Nirvana and Nas.
A subject of two upcoming Hollywood documentaries and essentially living the lifestyle of the rarest undiscovered poet/musical gems of the modern scene, it is our honor to see him perform before his planned European tour in April. Shane Gooding has finished two home recorded albums- one of his solo acoustic music and the other a sophomore rock and roll manifesto entitled "Patients" on which he plays drums, bass and electric/acoustic guitars. It was recorded in his friend's garage. - F. R. at The Invisible Box
