Shane Cooley is a performing/recording singer-songwriter full-time, all the time. He is also a part-time booking agent and producer, a student at the College of William and Mary, and a substitute teacher.

"Shane Cooley has a positive outlook and drive that will take him where he wants to go," said songwriter/producer Steve Bassett. That pretty much sums up Shane's quest to make a difference with his music since he was 13 years old, hundreds of songs ago. Shane's dedication has produced 6 self recorded and 5 studio albums that have caught the attention of radio, TV, internet, press and a growing fanbase, making him a compelling and distinctive artist.

On his rise, Shane improves his craft with every song. He has learned how to succeed while still exhibiting enthusiasm, class and integrity, learning how to get along with all types in all sorts of environments, presenting himself in a confident but not cocky way.

Shane Cooley is a unique, emerging artist that is hard to pigeon hole, with comparisons to Tom Petty, Bruce Springsteen, Ryan Adams, Neil Young, and James Taylor. He has shared the stage with headliners such as Bruce Hornsby, Carbon Leaf, Tim McGraw, Joan Jett, The Blue Man Group, OK Go, Los Lonely Boys and Sugar Ray. Shane extensively tours, while a student at the College of William & Mary, as his dedication accellerates him along the road to success.
