Sorry this pro can’t do your job, but we know other pros who can.
Introduction: Howdy I'm Shane. I've played all over the Southwest since moving out here 5 years ago, from bars to country clubs to high end private events, weddings, corporate events. I have a wide range of covers with originals mixed in, and I also take requests, especially when discussed ahead of the event. I have more than 200 songs on my list already from 50s to modern day - Johnny Cash, Bob Marley, CCR, Jimi Hendrix, Zach Bryan, Tracy Chapman to name a few - it's a fun mix of covers usually not played by any other musicians although still classics that crowds love & remember. My originals are acoustic folk style and have some instrumental guitar interludes mixed in to keep things flowing smooth and dynamically. I am always in good communication and my number one goal is to do my part in making every event successful.

Shane Zen provided music for our graduation party. Shane is very nice and professional and all the guests enjoyed the music. He can DJ but also played the guitar and sang. I would definitely hire him again.

Shane was excellent communicating prior and up to the event. He was extremely professional, set up quietly, was super at catching cues when we needed to speak. He is extremely talented and has written some beautiful music. He played a plethora of excellent songs. Several guests mentioned how talented he was. I would definitely encourage anyone looking for someone to play at a wedding or any other type of event to consider giving him the opportunity.

Details: Wedding ceremony • 26 - 50 guests • 31 - 50 years old • 13 - 17 years old • 12 years old or younger • 18 - 30 years old • 51 or older • Vocals • Guitar • Band • No preference • Country / bluegrass • Pop / top 40 • Rock / classic rock • Outdoors

Shane is a brilliant artist who came to play for my daughter's wedding. He not only provided the music we needed for the ceremony, but also the Zen as we had numerous photographs taken of our family. He continued to play and serenaded us, and kept atmosphere light and happy. He is also very professional, which I value very much. Our family enjoyed Shane's company as well. We would hire him again, and we do recommend highly.

Details: Wedding ceremony • 25 guests or fewer • 12 years old or younger • 18 - 30 years old • 31 - 50 years old • 51 or older • Guitar • Covers • Variety • Outdoors
