Shane Hunt grew up in Southern Illinois and the St. Louis area, where family and music were always close to the heart. His Grandpa Buddy would pull out the guitar, and before long, Shane was learning to play right alongside him. By the time he was 7, he was strumming along in the living room with his Grandpa while his Grandma Barbara would dance. When he was 12, Shane started writing his own songs, inspired by the stories and sounds that surrounded him. That same year, his grandparents took him to the Grand Ole Opry, where he saw what could happen when passion met opportunity. With the support of his family, he kept writing, playing, and chasing that feeling. His dad got him his first real guitar for Christmas that year. When Shane was a freshman in high school he was out busking on the streets of Nashville, guitar case open and songs ready. At 17, Shane went back to Nashville with his dad, hoping for something more. While Shane played on the streets, his dad went from bar to bar, asking if someone would give his son a shot. After hearing “that’s not how it works” at almost every door, a man named Bobby at Whiskey Bent Saloon gave Shane a chance to take the stage. He was hooked. Back home, Shane spent his time at the Bethalto Fire Department and playing with his band Right Quick. When he was 21, he packed up and moved to Nashville with Terra, his amazing girlfriend (now wife), to really give music his all. Shane has played with bands like Right Quick, River Runners, Six String Revolver and the Matt Wickman Band. These days, Shane leads the Shane Rivers Band with one goal in mind: to make people smile and forget about the world for a while.
Danny grew up in central arkansas where his first taste of the spotlight was playing drums in the 1st grade talent show. As he got older he began regularly sitting in with a few local bands in the area and playing open mic nights. He learned guitar and bass, how to write and record songs, and even put out a few albums before graduating high school. Then off to Tennessee he went! Danny now sings, plays guitar and bass in a handful of nashville bands and hasn’t looked back!
Chris is a producer, singer, and multi-instrumentalist with roots in bluegrass, old school country, heavy rock, and hip hop. This background brings a unique flare to the band and comes in handy for all the deep cuts and party bangers requested at our live shows. Chris is also a veteran, proudly serving almost 10 years in the Army as a medic. He’s spent the last 10 years as a full time musician and producer, starting at small bars to Broadway, bedroom records to a Bachelor’s Degree from SAE Nashville. He strives to be humble and thankful for all of the opportunities and people that have come into his life.
Deep in the heart of Arkansas, Logan was encouraged very early to become a musician. He was 4 when his father taught him the drums and piano, and 9 when he taught himself guitar. His love for rock was fostered further through the CDs his grandpa would burn for him, encouraging him to emulate his favorite guitarists. In college, Logan drummed for the razorback marching band and pep-band at basketball games. Before college, Logan had little to no singing experience, but he aspired to audition for the most selective collegiate choir in Arkansas, with which he would go on to perform at Carnegie hall. After graduating, Logan ditched his plan to become a chemical engineer and moved to Nashville with his childhood bestfriend, Dan. Since then, he has been hard at work self-producing his first album, while performing full-time as a broadway multi-instrumentalist with Dan in the Shane Rivers Band.
Brent is a dedicated drummer and music enthusiast, currently performing with five different bands, including the Shane Rivers Band and Chris Knagge, where he plays regularly on Broadway in Nashville. He also enjoys the monthly performances with his family band, Graham Anthem Band. In addition, Brent collaborates with Apache Jericho, an original music band that focuses on writing and recording whenever possible. Recently, he landed a touring gig with songwriter Wyatt McCubbin, whose songs have been recorded by notable country artists such as Riley Greene, Zack Top, Cody Johnson, Luke Combs, and Lainey Wilson. One of Brent's favorite performances to date was at the 2024 Country Concert festival. Outside of music, he enjoys working with his hands through woodworking and gardening, and he finds tranquility in nature, particularly near lakes, streams, rivers, and oceans. Brent dreams of traveling the world playing music alongside ones that he loves.
