ABOUT
A salt-of-the-earth southerner with a straight-shooting swagger and kind smile, Shane Profitt is an authentic, all-natural talent who is poised to become one of Nashville’s most exciting new acts. The 25-year-old from Columbia, TN began his musical journey only a few years ago with a simple ambition - to learn to play Hank Jr. songs on the guitar. Beginning with three chords (G, C and D) and by putting in the time, he quickly mastered the instrument. Gifted with a heavy-duty vocal, Profitt became a regular draw at the popular southern cooking chain, Puckett’s, traveling all over Tennessee to weekend shows while still holding down his job back home working for the city of Columbia mowing ditches. Since then, he has rocked sold-out shows at the historic Ryman Auditorium, earned standing ovations at the Grand Ole Opry, and is writing modern Country music rooted in his blue-collar upbringing. With tracks like, “Still Picks Up,” the emerging artist introduces more layers and emotion to his usual feel-good, windows-down sound, storytelling in a way that hits close to home every time. The vulnerable tune followed the debut of his upfront writing style and barrel-chested voice on the three-song collection Maury County Line (BMLG Records/Harpeth 60 Records). With tracks like the hook filled honky-tonker “Better Off Fishin’,” chest-thumping charmer “Guys Like Me,” and his hopeful heaven-on-earth Top 15 Country radio single “How It Oughta Be,” it’s clear he puts his life to music — along with the lives of so many others. Now, Profitt is stepping into his next chapter with Maverick Nashville Management and joining the roster of Triple Tigers Records, each stewarding his talents towards a long-lasting and impactful career.
