The Bois d'Arcs have consisted of many members over the years, but they have finally found the right combination of musicians to complete their sound. Each member has spent their share of time in mostly rock and blues bands. Shayne, the founding member of the band, spent many years in rock bands before switching to the music he grew up on. The founding member of Strict Order and Brown Paper Bag, Shayne had 2 albums on the under his belt before starting the Bois d'Arcs. Ian started playing at age 4, got serious at age 11, and in a few years was playing venues from Dallas to Wichita Falls in a classic rock band with his dad. He then went on to play in several different types of bands before joining the Bois d'Arcs. Joseph has played in many rock bands in the Deep Ellum scene of Dallas, in addition to playing in the classic rock band with Ian and his dad for two years. He honed his chops playing every genre of music that he could find others engaged in. Bryant Hunter is the newest Bois D'Arc. He joined the band in January of 2008. Bryant has played in various bands including The Molly Maguires, Dirty Blond, Ricky Lynn Gregg, and Sony recording artists Dusk till Dawn. Together they have found a sound that is totally their own. And as long as they have an audience, whether 1 or 10,000, they will continue to spread their brand of Texas Music. !
