   About Robert McShane
“Offering his own special blend of American music and rock n roll, inspired by Bruce Springsteen and Steve Earle. [It is]…'music that has crawled up from New Orleans and the Delta, and down from the Appalacians and met in an alley in Chicago to mix with broken glass and gasoline puddles and Chess Record blues and Replacements rock n roll and smartass westside Irish poetry.'” Dan Pierson, Pioneer Press _____________________________________________________________ “A hard-rocking, literate songwriter bearing the influences of Steve Earle and Townes Van Zandt.” Fitzgerald’s Nightclub ______________________________________________________________ “Everything sounds like it was recorded in a Depression-era lean-to—an effect that makes McShane sound decades older than his 27 years. Check out a few songs online and then head out to FitzGerald's, a venue perfectly suited to the singer's homespun ramblings.” Andy Downing Chicago Tribune

Robert,

Just thought you might like to know your song "Men In Blue" has been posted on my MySpace page.

In case you've forgotten, it was recorded live in the studio by The Robert McShane Band in June 2007.

It's currently being listened to by god knows what kinds of people I've befriended.
