Shane Smith and the Saints

Rising up in the cool underground Americana scene 23-year-old East Texas native Shane Smith carries deep roots in his guitar case, country soul on his sleeve, and poetic lyrical integrity in his music. During his teenage years, with little to no legitimate musical background, Shane took on the role as a songwriter that would lay the foundation for a career to unfold in the world of music. Inspired by songs of Hayes Carll, Adam Carroll, and Ray Wylie Hubbard, he taught himself guitar and began to write the kinds of songs he loved from an appreciation of stellar songwriters. “I was real fortunate to have heard these artists off the bat," Shane recalls. Honoring his commitment to become a respected songwriter Smith moved to the Austin area to fulfill his dream and hone his skills as a working musician as well as earning his degree at St. Edwards University.
