Wyatt Also To Attend CRS 40 And Participate In 2009 Arctic Plunge

Minnesota-based Country singer-songwriter Shane Wyatt’s (www.shanewyatt.com) year is off to a busy, but exciting start.  This month, he released “Whole Lotta Love” as the second single off his debut album, The Big Bad Dog.  The single shipped to Country radio on February 16th.

“’Whole Lotta Love’ is just a feel-good, up-tempo song that reminds me of the songs I grew up on that really made people want to get up and dance, or put the pedal down in the car.  There are so many songs on the album with deep, introspective layers or words with double meanings; I wanted to make sure we had one on there that was just a classic sounding country song that folks could tap their toes to.  We had such a great time in the studio with this one, and think that really comes out in the song,” says Wyatt.

Thanks to a couple of crazy fans dressed in wedding garb at a show this past summer, on Saturday, February 28th, Wyatt will make his national TV debut on an episode of CMT’s series “My Big Redneck Wedding”, hosted by Tom Arnold. The episode titled “Gary and Leann” airs at 2:30 p.m., 8:30 p.m. and 9:30 p.m. (all times are Eastern).

Wyatt will then return to Nashville, where he recorded The Last Cowboy, for CRS 40, March 4th-6th to visit with industry professionals and participate in interviews.

Upon returning from Nashville, Wyatt will head to Long Lake in Isanti, Minn., on Saturday, March 7th, to be a judge at the 2009 Arctic Plunge sponsored by 92KQRS.  Festivities begin at 1 p.m. and the plunge will begin at 2 p.m. Since 2002, the Arctic Plunge has been a huge success raising money for the Isanti Fire Department (2003- 2006) and Isanti County Safety Rescue (2007-2009).  Wyatt and his band will play the after-party that night.

Touching hearts and scooting boots with songs inspired by modern traditionalists like George Strait and country rocker Jason Aldean, Wyatt has enjoyed great grass roots success with his first single, “The Big Bad Dog,” which has received airplay on major stations in Oklahoma, Nebraska, South Dakota and Minnesota, Wyatt’s adopted home state.

Minnesota-based Country Star Was Named One Of The Hot 100 Unsigned Bands & Artists Of 2008 By Music Connection Magazine

Minnesota-based Country singer-songwriter Shane Wyatt (www.shanewyatt.com) made a splash on the music industry in 2008 after releasing his debut album The Last Cowboy. He received praise from critics worldwide, made his television debut and shared the stage with a Country music superstar.  The year was topped off with Music Connection magazine naming the rising star one of the Hot 100 Unsigned Bands & Artists of the year (December 2008 issue).

Wyatt will return to Nashville, where he recorded The Last Cowboy, for CRS 40, March 4th-6th to visit with industry professionals and participate in interviews.

The Last Cowboy was produced by Mike Noble, a major player in Music City whose songs have been recorded by everyone from George Jones and Kenny Rogers to Brooks & Dunn and Restless Heart.  Wyatt has been enjoying great grass roots success with his first single, “The Big Bad Dog,” a hard driving yet heartfelt tribute to a nasty looking, speed limit busting vehicle his uncle once drove.  This month he is releasing “Whole Lotta Love” as the second single from The Last Cowboy.

Music critics from Minneapolis to Nashville and the UK have praised Wyatt and The Last Cowboy.

Minneapolis Star Tribune Music Critic Chris Riemenschneider 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.”

Wyatt also made his television debut on “Showcase Minnesota”, a local lifestyle show, where he performed an acoustic version of “Just Married” from The Last Cowboy to promote his show with Country music superstar Joe Nichols.  He made a second appearance just three months later, this time performing “Waiting For Forever” with his full band.

On February 28th, Wyatt is poised to make his national TV debut on an episode of CMT’s series “My Big Redneck Wedding”, hosted by Tom Arnold.
