An Evening with Shane Cloutier

AN EVENING WITH SHANE CLOUTIER

Canadian alt-folk singer-songwriter Shane Cloutier has released three acoustic albums. Shane’s solo career was sparked after facing tragedy and he turned to music as a way to heal. His three albums have been an introspective of facing adversity, while heavily focused on perseverance and reflection. Shane’s most recent album release, Lie to Me ’til It’s Over, breaks new ground with his acoustic sound mixed with cello and programmed beats, showing a new side of Shane. He has collaborated with multiple time Maple Blues Award winner Tom Bona, legendary guitar player Frank Marino of Mahogany Rush, and Grammy-nominated cellist Michael Olsen. His unique sound and guitar abilities have caught the attention of notable endorsement companies.

Shane’s strong emotional voice and his work as a guitarist, combined with his heavy metal influences creates an uncommon sound for an alt-folk musician. Shane is originally from Orillia, ON but now resides near Collingwood, ON, and we are delighted to have him as an addition to our Theatre Collingwood PORCHSIDE FESTIVAL.
