Recording Artist
Shane is growing his career as a recording artist and won 2nd Place in the Sunrise Records Local Artist Contest in 2018 that saw his first Album "You Are My Home" distributed in all Western Canadian Sunrise Records locations. Since that time he's arranged and performed two summer tours, released numerous singles such as "Star Hawk," "Sweet Sadness" and the most recent folk-rock number, "Wave to Glide."
Now, in April of 2024 he is very excited to be releasing his sophomore recording, "National Ramble" for the first time on CD, Record and also on all streaming services. National Ramble is a folk-rock gem that the artist likes to dub "my humble answer to Harvest Moon!" Larmand even features his own distinctive and mellow version of the aforementioned title track that showcases some soft tones on the metallophone. From the mysterious, quick sounds of "Wave to Glide: through the dark and moody "Tennessee Cross" and the folk-grunge changes of the title track to close out with the nomad-folk track "Star Hawk," listeners will find no lack of layers, moods, melody and depth to this indie sophomore outing.
This 2026 release is an EP that showcases one song with five different versions! The title track brims with emotion as the singer muses on childhood, parenting and especially the joy of being a dad to a little girl. She even sings on the track near the end - at 3 years old! The second track is a simple acoustic guitar instrumental version, track 3 is also an instrumental, but it includes percussion from longtime collaborator Jeff Weeks. Track 4 really showcases the raw emotion of the track with a simple guitar and vocal take and the final version adds a lot of atmosphere with ambient, delay guitar leads. Perfect for rainy days, mellow cuddles with the baby or perhaps some focused studying, this EP can fill out the background in a mellow and relaxing way.
