BIO
When most people think of emo/rock music, they immediately think black eyliner, crazy clothes, and romanticizing existential dread. When SHANE ARCHER REED makes emo/rock music, he uses his past experiences of lss, heartbreak, and the will to carry on to tell stories. Stories that he hopes will inspire others to see the world for the wonderful place it could be, and to be the change we wanna see in the world.
Shane's sound comes from his emotionally based rock sound and his extensive background in musical theatre. Drawing inspiration from his favorite musicals, such as RENT, Les Miserables, and Spring Awakening(To name a few), and the rock artists that fueled him like Queen, Daughtry, Alter Bridge, and My Chemical Romance, Shane has created a unique sound to express his emotional journey, both where he's been, and where he wants to go.
In the many years Shane and his band, SAR and The Harbingers, have been active, They have had the opportunity to tour the east and midwest US with artists such as Rookie Of The Year, Page9, and MNERVA, as well as locally open for some nationally known artists such as The Stolen, Red Jumpsuit Apparatus, The Veer Union, and Jefferson Starship.
Shane's music tackles subjects like grieving the loss of a loved one(both in death and in heartbreak), overcoming great obstacles in life, and the feelings of inadequacy, insecurity, fear, and how to rise above it all. Shane wants nothing more than to invoke a positive change in our world through his music, to spreak kindness, love, and most of all hope!
