Brittany Shane’s fifth album, “Loud Nights On A Short String” on Painted Lady Records was recently released in Austin, TX. The album was recorded in 11 days during the extra-hot Summer of 2011 at The Finishing School in Austin, Texas. George Reiff (Court Yard Hounds) played bass, Scrappy Jud Newcomb (Ian ‘Mac’ McLagan & The Bump Band) played guitar, Dony Wynn (Robert Palmer) played drums, and Johnny Goudie (Skyrocket) played keyboards. George and Scrappy also co-produced the album.

Brittany grew up in the small town of Baraboo, Wisconsin, discovered her love for performing dance at the tender age of two and a half, and started making music while attending the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Brittany’s first two albums were released in Madison under her maiden name, Safranek. Once Brittany felt that she had reached as far as she could go with her music in Madison (released two CDs, “Out of the Everywhere” and “Moravian Star”, voted Best Live Female Singer/Songwriter in 2000 by Maximum Ink), she decided to move to California, “where rock ‘n roll dreams come true”. Brittany sold one of her guitars for a one-way ticket and an opportunity that landed her in San Francisco. She got her start performing in the Fillmore Lounge in 2001 in San Francisco, playing along acts such as Aimee Mann, Chris Isaak, Travis, Liz Phair and many more. In 2003, after a few years in San Francisco, Brittany (now Shane) released her third album, “Decked Out”, which was voted Top 20 Local CDs by Aidin Vaziri, San Francisco Chronicle Music Critic.

For the next few years, Brittany found success in music placements in both film, TV:

“Songs come from Life” – Aretha Franklin

Some of us search our whole lives to uncover our true passion and purpose. And then there are people like Susan Arbuckle whose passion, purpose, and talent collide in such a way that something magical happens.

An Austin native, Susan took to the stage at an early age, and over the years, she’s established deep roots in blues and gospel music. Classically trained, Susan has gone on to lead, teach, perform, write and record music. Some of her original tunes have best been described as inspirational blues or “Light Blue.” Although, her reach goes well beyond blues and gospel, and she’s cultivated a powerful voice that today spans everything from jazz and rock to aria and lullaby. It’s this versatility that has led Susan to share the stage with notable musicians, such as Ruthie Foster, Bonnie Raitt, Kris Kristofferson, Kelly Willis, Lloyd Maines, Shelley King, Patrice Pike, and Carolyn Wonderland.

Beyond her amazing stage presence, what makes Susan’s music so powerful is the passion behind it—and the understanding that her music’s true purpose is to connect, share, and promote the good that is in everyone. Her role is to, “Follow your Truth and others will be encouraged to do the same.” And, as a performer, it’s to tune into her audience and create an environment where everyone feels free to be themselves and have a good time.

“Music brings folks together across so many perceived boundaries, and I think that being versatile and flexible enables artists to connect with all types of people,” Susan says. “Hopefully, my music connects and sparks a common place within each of us. If that happens, we can all relate to each other on some level—no matter our history, our preferences, our status, or our goals.”
