Shane McAnally - Shane McAnally grew up playing opry’s and festivals all across his home state of Texas. He competed on Ed McMahon’s Star Search as a teenager and released 2 independent projects before the age of 18. After 2 years at The University of Texas in Austin, he moved to Nashville. He signed his first publishing deal with Curb publishing at 19, and began recording for Curb/Universal records at 21. His debut album “Shane McAnally” spawned 3 top 40 Billboard singles. His video for “Say Anything” went top 5 on both CMT and GAC. After touring with Kenny Chesney, Martina McBride, and Alabama for the next 3 years in support of his album, he moved to Los Angeles and began playing the Sunset strip in search of a more organic sound that had eluded him on his earlier projects. Trying out new material to sold-out crowds at the famed Viper Room, the Knitting Factory, and Hollywood’s Hotel Café, ultimately led to commercial and critical success as a songwriter. The perfect marriage of music and film came in 2008 when Here! Films featured 6 of Shane’s songs in the critically acclaimed “Shelter”. The film went on to sweep festivals domestically and internationally, and introduced Shane’s unique laid back acoustic sound to a much wider audience. Last year, he moved back to Nashville and back onto the Billboard charts, this time as a songwriter. Recently Marv has had songs recorded by Luke Bryan, Jake Owen, and LeeAnn Womack. Womack's single "Last Call" (co-written by McAnally) was nominated for a Grammy in '09 and went on to make every "best of" list in the industry, including Rolling Stone and Music Row magazine. He has also been working on an album with legendary producer, Kyle Lehning,
