Search - Shane Simon :: 26 years, 53 days, 10 hours and 9 minutes

Over the past three years, Shane has authored, recorded and published four independent releases. His first effort was a two-track CD single of As She Sleeps with Drive On as its b-side. The single generated a buzz in 2001 and sparked a second release in 2002 entitled acoustic backstage pass. The five-song album included four original works as well as a cover of Radiohead?s classic Karma Police. Shane?s third release served as a response to those that desired a slice of his live acoustic solo act. Recorded in December 2002, Shane Simon: Live At The Mint is a soundboard recording of a live performance at The Mint Hollywood, the famous singer/songwriter club that has a distinguished alumni of performers, including BB King, Sheryl Crow, Jack Johnson, The Wallflowers, Taj Mahal, Stevie Wonder, Ben Harper, Tonic, Gavin Degraw and Vanessa Carlton to name a few. Much like Dave Matthews? 1994 Recently release or Jason Mraz?s 2001 Live CD recording, the music is presented in its most naked and revealing tone ? just a man and his guitar. His most recent effort entitled 26 years, 53 days, 10 hours and 9 minutes is Shane?s first full-band, professional studio recording. The self-produced album was recorded, mixed and mastered at Jet City Studios in Los Angeles under talented engineer Mark Nathanson?s (credits include sound engineer work for Britney Spears, Sheryl Crow and others) watchful eye. The album was launched to a sold out crowd of more than 250 fans at Santa Monica?s famed Sonny McLean?s in early May 2004.
