not an Airplane is currently recording their debut full length album. With the addition of Daniel Edward Harris, Chris Haupt, and Jared Neilson, Shattell's contemporary folk songs have taken on a whole new life. Combined with many traditional country and folk influences and thick layers of vocal harmonies, these four have created a unique sound all their own. Shattell's lyrics shine through and are perfectly accented by the melodic stylings of Harris and Neilson, as well as the smooth rhythms laid down by Haupt. Plus you might get to see some juggling.
Here are some nice words people have written about not an Airplane in the past;

It was great to hear you guys, we will definitely be in touch to get a show down this way. Maybe in January or February for sure. Hope you're feeling better
I am okay. You probably already know I had to move to southern california. I was trying to come back up but I have no where to stay. You should come down here and we can play together. This music scene isn't very good.
