Biography

Growing up on everything from Hank Williams Jr to Willie Nelson to Jimi Hendrix to Johnny Winter the young Shane Dwight had a very diverse musical upbringing.  As he reached his teens his deep seated love for the blues began to blossom.  He spent hours everyday listening to Muddy Waters, Howlin Wolf and Magic Sam.  He learned every guitar lick he heard and soon he was emulating all  the great blues artists. 

After a short stint in a jazz band and another in a rock band, Shane knew his true calling was the Blues. 

Over the next few years Shane built a solid back up band that would allow him to do what he does best - PERFORM! 

The future is bright and the band is excited about the prospects to come!
