"Shynes has the rare ability to blend shades of every genre over an acoustic landscape, and his songs possess a lyrical depth rarely paired with such mainstream appeal. Having broken ground in the major markets of Los Angeles, Chicago, and New York City over the past year, Shynes is a talent to watch in the years to come. Vastly emerging from his humble beginnings as a Singer/Songwriter in a small central Minnesota town, he has recently opened up for Eric Hutchinson and Tyler Hilton and has begun actively touring Nationally. All the while he continues to independently write and produce his own albums, and maintain the down to earth nature that enables him to fully appreciate every part of the musical journey."
