Lots of news this week!  Keep Reading!
Hey Y'all!
 
Have you marked your calendar?  The CD release party is on June 14th in Fridley and it is going to be a blast...  as the CD release gets closer, Shane is getting more and more press, and the shows are getting crazier every week.
 
Read ahead for news on last week's shows, and introduction to the member of the band, and info on the shows coming this weekend.
 
 
Pics and summaries from last week's shows!
 
Shane Wyatt at Dawns Corner BarFriday at Dawn's Corner Bar in Dundas, MN
 
Another show at Dawn's, another great crowd!  Shane and the band had tons of fun at the best little corner bar in Rice County!  Lots of regulars (inlcuding all our line dancing friends!) made it out, and we made several new friends and fans, too!
 
Shane Wyatt at Arizona'sSaturday at Arizonas in Shakopee, MN
 
We were excited to play at Arizona's in Shakopee - its right next to Canturbury, and its really close to home for Shane and Jeff - but we didn't know what we were getting ourselves into!  Melissa Gilman wrote a story on Shane and the band (with a really nice half page picture) for the Shakopee Valley News, which ended up running in Eden Prairie News, Chanhassen Villager, Prior Lake American, and other papers in the SouthWest.  We must have drummed up a lot of interest, because our show was packed to the rafters... there was barely enough room to stand, but our dancers were out in full force... and they found a way to shake it!  Jamie taught line dances and the crowd was really jumping... the night was crazy!  We will be back at Arizona's on June 6th!
 

JeffJeff Waldeland
(Pedal Steel, Guitar, Baritone Guitar)

If you haven't been to a show lately, then you need to get out and hear the newest member of the band!  Jeff played with Grant in a couple different projects in the past, and that's how he ended up with Shane and the guys.  You will usually find Jeff on our stage playing pedal steel, but he ocassionally comes out from behind the steel to play acoustic guitar, baritone guitar, and some twin tele action with Neil.  Jeff is an accomplished stage and studio musician and we are lucky to have him with the band!

This Week's Shows

Friday:  Pickle Park Bar in Fridley (with G.B. Leighton!)

Since is where we will be hosting the CD release party on June 14th - we needed to get out there and check out this club (named after a G.B. Leighton song)... and what better way to test out a club than to do a joint show with G.B. Leighton?  Shane and the guys will be opening the night at 9:00, so get there early for a good seat!  Pickle Park is just North of 694 on University.
