The Shane Pruitt Band

An extraordinary bluesman is raised in the suburbs; in the shadow of a Wal-Mart store... A youngster learns the depth and breadth of the blues without leaving his house... Living in Spartanburg, South Carolina, his style mimics neither the sprightly, acoustic - based Piedmont blues indigenous to his region nor the all- influential Texas sounds of the late Stevie Ray Vaughan... A gentle and shy young man becomes a FEROCIOUS and animated axe king the second he hits the stage...

To sum it up, Shane plays 'the blues that groove without compromise and wail without mercy'. Shane's sound is both powerful and accessible, the rare sort that rewards deep listening while still pleasing those who come simply to dance and drink. Onstage, he is an electrifying presence stomping amidst the amps, cords and mic stands, smiling beautifully, as if he has his eye on the sparrow, shaking his head from side to side as shocks of curly red hair bob and wave.
