"Dwight explores a multitude of
musical realms ... funk, soul and laid-back grooves find their way
into his repertoire. He's been known to incite the girls to crazy-wild
behavior."

Metro Silicon Valley
"California by way of Nashville,
gunslinger Shane Dwight does indeed play rocked-up blues, and fans
of Stevie Ray and George Thorogood will find much to love. But he's
adept at Dickie Betts/Allman Brothers southern rock jams, Stonesy
blues rockers, and some Pete Yorn inspired chugging roots rock as
well."

PASTE Magazine
"Contemporary blues can smoke,
when it is done with spirit and when it has got class. Shane Dwight
has both. Singing and playing lead guitar, he is on target every
time, rocking, authentic blues delivered by a great front man ...
hand it to Dwight for the type of set that brings boogie back to
the blues with a vengeance as evidenced in his sweaty live shows."

365 Sacramento
"Shane Dwight has been likened
to George Thorogood; both are hard-charging blues rockers who put
plenty of blood, toil and sweat into their performances. And while
Dwight is a better singer and songwriter, and his guitar playing
is also more subtle, more dynamic and draws on more varied sources."

Vintage Guitar Magazine
"One of Music City's prime guitar
warriors, Shane Dwight excels in numerous situations, from story
songs and laments to explosive workouts and fiery duels. Shane Dwight's
playing and singing is consistently stellar, and frequently magnificent."

City Paper, Nashville's

"As I listened to this … hot and
fiery guitarist Shane Dwight, the same thought kept running through
my mind: Here's one wild cat with great potential … he plays a mean
guitar, whether he's rocking, delving into roots, alt-country, R&B,
or hitting you in the gut with searing, straight-ahead blues … he
plays with charisma, heart, and energy."

Shane Dwight is a genre-busting artist
with energetic performances and charismatic appeal. A killer blues
player who can rock the house all night long with the best of them,
he's also an introspective singer-songwriter whose voice rings true
through alt-country, Americana, R&B, and flat-out Rock N Roll. There
is no pigeonhole for Shane Dwight, and no single corral can hold
this bucking bronco. Shane's talent is so fierce and his inspiration
so strong that his music draws in equal measure from classic blues
and urban R&B, from alt-country and modern rock without compromising
his integrity or missing a beat.
Shane Dwight cut his teeth on the rough and tumble East Side of
San Jose, California, where his natural talents were influenced
by the neighborhood's diverse musical undercurrents. He became proficient
at various styles, and played in jazz and rock bands before finding
his groove with the blues. Shane's popularity spread quickly, and
in 2002 he easily won the Monterey Blues Festival Battle of the
Bands. Since that time Shane has released several CDs and kept up
a hectic schedule, appearing at countless clubs and festival Main
Stages, and receiving airplay on hundreds of radio stations worldwide.
Recently, Shane moved to Nashville, Tennessee. Last year, he released
TWO internationally distributed CDs, and performed over 150 shows
throughout the US, Canada and Mexico.

"Tough, lean guitar work and commanding
vocals, he is a tour de force... Shane is a killer songwriter, singer,
guitarist and performer ... he is an artist who's creating a soulful
Americana sound."

San Jose Mercury News
"Shane has everything going for
him; An incredible guitarist, good looks and a way with the audience
that many pros long for. His set varied from old rock'n'roll to
blues, and then ended with a tribute to Led Zepplin and the famous
Jimmy Page guitar licks. Once again the crowd rose to their feet
in applause."

Eureka Tribune
"Shane Dwight is a talented musician
and an impressive songwriter ... Dwight's guitar playing is as substantial
as his songwriting. Exceptional talent … it's clear this cat can
sing anything he wants."
