The best kept secret in music

“Shane Zack’s music is melodic rock and his debut CD is a very good effort showcasing his talent. His voice is passionate and has a wide range, very emotive and heartfelt.”
- -Acoustic Musicians Guild Summer Edition 2006
"Shane Zack doesn't have a drug problem. He's dedicated to something else……. They showed up en masse at The Jumping Bean Acoustic Lounge to support the official release of Zack's debut solo album. All had come to cheer as Zack told stories, thanked his supporters, and performed his set. Clad in a simple white tee-shirt and ripped, baggy jeans, Zack swayed his hips, threw his shaggy hair back, and poured his heart out in a collection of original songs mixed with covers of Filter, Social Distortion, and Led Zeppelin.”

“Shane decides to keep things simple on this release and brought nothing into the studio besides acoustic 6 & 12 strings and a wonderful voice. The album shows a young man’s progression from naïve childhood into adulthood and explores themes such as love, failure, religion, temptation, and regret. Zack avoids the tendency of new singer/songwriters to emulate Bob Dylan and instead creates his own identity with striking lyrics and, most notably, a very distinct voice. Incomparable to any contemporary singer, Zack’s emotive range is absolutely stunning, switching from a compelling yell to a fragile whisper in the blink of an eye.
Each song on the album is surprisingly unique for having only one writer and instrument. The acoustic guitar creates a soothing atmosphere and serves as the perfect backdrop for Zack’s powerful voice and allows the listener to focus in on what Zack says.”

Bio
Setting himself apart from acoustic performers that flood the country is what Shane does best. Captivating audiences with his heart-piercing vocals and contagiously energetic performances, Shane leaves listeners with a lasting impression. Shane’s music is best described as passionately melodic rock and roll.
Born in Chicago, Shane Zack found his love for performing and carried it with him to San Francisco, where he earned street credit playing on downtown avenues. After cutting his teeth in his college band “Trifecta,” Shane hit the Philadelphia music scene.
Not only an acoustic performer, Shane, was also the founder, lead vocalist, and songwriter for the original rock band “Scarred Rose.” The band was frequently showcased on Philadelphia’s former alternative rock radio station, Y100, and received airplay on several college radio stations. During his time with Scarred Rose, Shane experienced success on local and regional levels.
Philadelphia has proven to be very receptive to Shane’s unique style of music. His sound blends the power of Guns N' Roses with the passion of U2 and The Verve to mold a personal sound that is now considered one of a kind.
Shane’s solo career has led to the release of his debut album, “Ignorance and Innocence.” A provocative album that explores a range of emotions, intimate and personal, the album showcases Shane's fiery voice and passionate songwriting.
