About Me

Shane Walters has grown up on the stages around Melbourne, cutting his teeth on the open mic platforms from the age of 18. Over time developing his art, and craft as a singer/songwriter. *** For a mostly solo artist, Shane has strived to develop a live sound with as much presence as possible, without compromising the intricacies and space for notes to breathe.*** Once you scratch the surfaces and hear the underlying lyrics and messages within his songs, youâ€™ll begin to understand Shaneâ€™s stable balance of music and poetry.*** Within his performance Shane can swap between an electric & acoustic lapslide, bottleneck acoustic slide guitar, a standard acoustic used for chords and mellower tunes, harmonica, a 12string acoustic lapslide, a resonator Regal lapslide and Djembe.*** Shane's music and writing style varies from peaceful rhythms, 'jazzy' finger-picking, with lots of alternate tunings and delicate slide. His lyrical inspiration comes from the surrounding world, and lifes splendors and tribulations. *** ***** Shane released his Debut Ep â€˜Facesâ€™ on his 25th birthday at the end of September.****** Since then his been touring, recording and promoting his music. Now back in Australia after a 7-month solo promotional tour of North America. Playing show in British Columbia, New York City, Toronto, Montreal and California. Travelling city by city, with 2 guitars and a bag. â€œItâ€™s a different world being on the road for that long, life changes so much everyday with every new place. So you have to evolve tooâ€***** Right now Shaneâ€™s is rehearsing hard with bassist Will Lee, Duncan Yardly on violin, and searching for the right drummer. Then heading into the studio to finally start laying down tracks for the long awaited album â€˜Box of Birdsâ€™. Which will be ready when itâ€™s ready.......Music will be avail for purchase online shorty..........PEACE & MUSIC....................................................... ........I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4
