Shy Blakeman

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 Los Angeles collaborating with an eclectic group of some of music's biggest stars and modern legend musicians.
