COUNTRY MUSIC HEIST IN THE TWIN CITIES!

***

CRITICALLY ACCLAIMED COUNTRY STAR
SHANE WYATT
LOSES HIS MARTIN AND FENDER GUITARS
IN BURGLARY

MUSIC ROW IN NASHVILLE RALLIES TO
GET WYATT’S CHERISHED TOOLS OF
THE TRADE BACK

Critically acclaimed and well loved, Minnesota based rising country star Shane Wyatt (www.shanewyatt.com) is asking for his guitars back – or else!

On Wednesday, April 8, Wyatt’s home in Eden Prairie was broken into and among the $15,000 in stolen property are two guitars – Martin Acoustic Guitar (DC-16GTE Aura) and a Fender Telecaster (52 Reissue).  Both guitars are Wyatt’s performance guitars and mean a lot to him, especially the Fender Telecaster, which was a gift from his wife.

The singer/songwriter, who performs multiple four hour sets every weekend around the Twin Cities and beyond, which include lots of guitar playing, has this message for the burglars:

“To the people who broke into my house in Eden Prairie, Minnesota and stole my stuff (including my Martin DC-16RGTE AURA and my 52 Reissue Tele), I respectfully ask that you return it as soon as possible. You bring it back and we are square… no questions asked. If you have already sold the guitars, then keep the money – you are gonna need it for doctor bills when I find you.

Sincerely,

Shane Wyatt”

Anyone with leads on the guitars or the burglary can send them anonymously to info@luckmedia.com.

In June 2008, Wyatt released his debut album The Last Cowboy and has been receiving praise from music critics all over the world.

Minneapolis’ own music critic Chris Riemenschneider of the Star Tribune said, “His polished but brawny brand of country fits in among currently hot Music Row studs such as Brad Paisley, Dierks Bentley and Tim McGraw.”

Famed Nashville historian Robert K. Oermann said Wyatt’s “The Big Bad Dog” “marks him as the most commercial and creative songwriter of the bunch.”

Maverick Country Magazine called The Last Cowboy, “Good debut album from a fine singer/songwriter.”

The British Country Music Association proclaimed, “…the songs, all self-penned, are a fresh-sounding mixture of the brash and the sentimental, each one different from the other.”  They added, “Shane Wyatt is certainly one of the names to look out for in the future.”

In December 2008, Music Connection magazine named the rising star one of the Hot 100 Unsigned Bands & Artists of the year.

Wyatt’s current single “Whole Lotta Love” has been receiving lots of love from country radio, with early airplay on over 100 stations across the country.
