All threads of American music run through Shane Tutmarc's veins. From roots-infused country and blues, to tin pan alley and vaudeville - Shane Tutmarc masterfully combines all these seemingly disparate and dusty genres and turns them into something fresh and new.
When Tutmarc performs live, he likes to fill the stage. He currently plays with an 8-piece featuring Ryan Richter on Lap Steel, Brendan Bosworth on Bass, Brian Bosworth on Drums and the lovely and talented female trio "The Chromettes" - Mia Katherine Boyle, Alicia Dara, and Fiia McGann on backing vocals. In addition to this core, occasionally Ty Bailie joins the band on Piano and B3 and Zachary Urban hops up on stage with his Blues Harp when the spirit moves him.
"The Seattle singer-songwriter’s latest album (and the first recorded under just his own name) is not only his most musically well-rounded record, it’s also his best. Accompanied by Seattle mainstays Johnny Sangster (who also produced the album) and brother Jim Sangster along with Mark Pickerel and Ty Bailie, Tutmarc combines elements of garage-rock, folk, blues, country, gospel and pop into emotionally searing songs of spiritual disquiet and personal heartache." -Don Yates (KEXP Program Director)
