Bio
The northwest based singer-songwriter was selected as a finalist in CMT's Music City Madness competition in 2007. In 2009 he released the studio EP "Summer Dreams Away" along with a collection of bedroom recordings entitled "The Well." His songs have been featured on the benefit albums; "Rock Rwanda" in 2008 and "Music For Libya" in 2011.
Shane Simonsen's 2011 release "Brackish Waters" experiments with acoustic, voice and electronic instruments reaching for an authentic middle ground. With this approach he showcases a series of songs on subjects ranging in the realms of faith, deception and commercialism.
“It’s an exploration of being hopeful in a jaded world,” says Shane who wrote and produced the album.
