October Road

The history of October Road is starting to become the stuff of modern folklore. . . . . . . . .

Between the pickin', the grinnin', the drinkin', the partyin', the "all nighters" and "three dayers", October Road has chalked up a resume that puts most bands in the Midwest to shame. They've earned a reputation as one of the hardest working and hardest partying groups in the region, and that's putting it lightly! If you come to an October Road show you better bring your drinking hat and cab fair, because people tend to raise a little hell when the boys start throwing down their unique, groove oriented approach to modern country.

The band is currently working on expanding its touring area to include all of the Midwest. Additionally, several showcases have been booked in Nashville for 2008, and the band is looking forward to releasing their 3rd album sometime this year as well!

Shane Wyatt

 Born in a small town in south central Oklahoma and raised by a family of cowboys and truckers, Shane Wyatt was naturally drawn to country music from an early age.  At age 10, Shane started playing fiddle – taking lessons from the legendary Benny Kubiak.  By his mid teens he was playing in local bands, first with other teenagers, and later with more experienced musicians (often, they would have to sneak the under-age fiddle player in the back door).  Shane started playing guitar at 14, and he immediately started putting the songs he had been writing to music. 

Shane’s singing and songwriting was heavily influenced by the soulful country singers whose pain and joy was so evident in every song they sang – Keith Whitley, Merle Haggard and Alan Jackson.

Experienced musicians with talent and energy you won’t find on any other stage!  These guys have so much fun on stage, its impossible to not have fun when you're watching
