Shy Blakeman is an old soul who portrays his own bold, free spirited brand of music on Long Distance Man, his acclaimed third studio album. Blakeman successfully melds together all the rural sounds from below the Mason-Dixon line in order to create an unexpected style that is so unique, that it's hard to define it by one genre. But don't be mistaken, it all still feels within the realm of what music is and used to be. This ambitious sound developed organically from a musical heritage in Wyoming, California and East Texas, added to years spent in Nashville, New York and LA collaborating with an eclectic group of some of Country music's biggest stars and modern legend musicians.

@brande_kramer: Shy Blakeman is my new favorite! Amazing voice!!!

@manman83: How bout ya make your way up North and sing a song or two!? Show North Idaho what good music really is about!

Marty Edwards: Shy's music is gritty, raw, and shows a vulnerable side to a message that music is built around soul not around glitz and glamour.
