Shane Jackman in Concert
For Shane Jackman, music and life are inseparable and he has an insatiable passion for both. His music has been called "Sophisticoustic," referring to what Acoustic Guitar Magazine called, his unique "sagebrush sound."
Growing up in Salt Lake City, the second of nine children, Shane spent cool summer nights outside his window on the roof, playing guitar to the sound of the creek behind his house. After majoring in fine arts at Southern Utah University he, packed his VW bus, and drove to Massachusetts where he tended polo horses and lived in a hay loft to make ends meet while getting his start in front of the discriminating East Coast coffeehouse crowds. Before long, Shane's reputation as an insightful songwriter and engaging performer earned him gigs with artists like Michael Martin Murphy, Peter Paul and Mary, Shawn Colvin, Marty Stewart, Trisha Yearwood, the Mavericks, Pete Seeger and Howard Jones.
Since that time he has been a moving force in the national acoustic singer-songwriter world. Surpassing 150 concerts a year in the college theaters, festivals and grass roots halls, Shane has amassed a substantial national following.
A ten-year touring stint, which took him across the country and saw the release of 4 albums: Free in a Free World, Rhythm of the Land, Looking West, and Equilibrium. Rhythm of the Land (BWE Music) debuted in the Americana Top 40, rose to number 23 on the Gavin radio chart, and garnered praise and critical acclaim industry wide. Newspapers, music magazines and the industry's leading songwriters all praised Shane's lyrical ease and rich melodies. Looking West likewise received high acclaim.
On the road, in the middle of his hectic touring pace, while selling CDs out of his trunk at colleges, cafes and clubs around the nation and amassing an underground following of students and music lovers, Shane found his rhythm as a musician. With his 5th album, Equilibrium, (Highway Records), he found his balance as he followed his passion for a life intertwined with both music and family. Shane's reputation then leaped into Europe, finding spontaneous audiences through the open radio formats of England, Ireland, France, Germany, and even Latvia, earning rave reviews
