Originally from Bowral in the Southern Highlands of NSW, Shane began playing Rock & Roll in a band at age 11.
Eventually he moved to Sydney and turned professional in 1976, developing a music career as a 'singing' drummer, evolving from one band to the next. Along the way learning new instruments and studying music theory.
In the past 25 years, Shane has worked with most major names in Australian music,singing and playing drums and percussion, covering all style variations, Rock & Roll, Pop, RNB, Country, Blues, Soul, Swing, Celtic, Cajun, Latin & Folk. Appearing in the country..s smallest pubs to the city..s largest stadiums and everywhere in between.
Shane has played and sung on over 40 albums and performed his way through innumerable jingles and soundtracks. All this time he was an aspiring songwriter, having had some of his tunes recorded by other artists.
After many years of touring a decision was made to work harder at his guitar playing and focus on his songwriting. All with the intention of forming a solo career.
His debut solo CD ,"7,000 Miles" was released independently in 2002. Made up of 13 original acoustic guitar based songs full of melody and harmony, in what has been described as "Rock Americana" or "Folk Rock".
Shane is now a regular contributor to the Sydney live music scene performing as a solo artist and adding musicians to the unplugged duo or trio format. He also has his five piece band, "The Cuckoo's Nest", made up of some of the very best musicians the city of Sydney has to offer!
Touring up and down the East Coast of Australia as well as the inland cities and country towns.
So far having performed at the Tamworth Country Music Festival, Mildura Country Music Festival, Balmain Peninsula Guitar Festival, Music in the Vines at Joadja Winery, Gympie Music Muster, Southern Highlands Country Music Festival, the Freshwater Fair, Undara Country Rock & Blues Festival and the Kidgeeridge Music Festival, with more to come!
In 2007, Shane released his his second album titled "Shaking Up The Mystery", showcasing 11 brand new original songs.
Released on Regal Records,distributed through MGM (Australia).
