Shane Pruitt - NYE @ Mo Daddy's
In today's ever expanding market of musicians and musical acts, finding true roots music built on heritage and yet staying original becomes harder and harder to find. Herein lies the foundation for one of the most explosive blues acts coming out of the Southeast today, the Shane Pruitt Band.
Lead man Shane Pruitt hails from Spartanburg, SC, where the musical roots of the blues and southern rock have been living and breathing for years on end. Birthing such musical talents and styles like those of Toy Caldwell and The Marshall Tucker Band, David Ball, Champ Hood, Walter Hyatt, and many others, Spartanburg has named Shane Pruitt its "Instrumentalist of the Year" for seven years and running.
Living and breathing the blues and gospel, The Shane Pruitt Band embodies a regional tradition while bringing its original tone and flare to every performance. Finding itself ever-searching in musical traditions between Delta Blues, Gospel, and Southern Rock, The Shane Pruitt Band embraces in the Jam Band traditions of improvisation and an ever-evolving musical experience. Picking up momentum with every performance, Shane Pruitt and his trio are driving towards uncharted waters while wowing critics everywhere they play.
Coming off of the new, 2nd studio release, "State of Grace", the band has made friends and colleagues across the board with their soulful sound. Having shared the stage with such greats as Johnny Winter, Junior Brown, Chuck Raney, Victor Wooten, Galactic, Papa Mali, The Neville Brothers, The Lee Boys, Roosevelt Collier, Oteil Burbridge, Mose Allison, Michael Burks, The New Mastersounds and many, many more, Shane Pruitt is a name to be known amongst the insiders of the southern music scene.
The members share their own place in music history as well. Hammond B3 player and vocalist Lil' Jimmy Peterman is a founding member of the Steve Miller Band (1967-1969), having also been a founding member of the Steve Miller Blues Band (featuring Steve Miller and Bozz Scaggs' original collaboration). Shane's prior collaboration, Flat Front Tire, was also a fixture in small club touring throughout the late 90′s and early millennium. Drummer Bill Fletcher has seen many years at the backline, playing and touring with Robin Rogers before joining his first collaboration with Peterman and blues singer Wanda Johnson, known as Cocktail Frank.
The band is proud to boast their place in the Top 10 Regional Albums of the Year for WNCW 88.7 FM in 2008 for their self-titled release "The Shane Pruitt Band". The album took the #7 spot on the list, beating out a phenomenal list of competitors from throughout the region. The album has seen critical acclaim from a number of local newspapers and weekly publications, and the band is excited about its brand new album, "State of Grace", and its sudden rise into the spotlight.
