Singer/songwriter
Shane Clouse, a native and resident of Missoula, Montana, began
his performing career singing his heart out to his parents and
seven siblings on the fireplace hearth of the family’s farm
house. Soon after, Shane began his performing arts career studying
singing, dancing, acting, playing guitar, and won his first singing
competition at the age of five. At eighteen Shane performed for
over 25,000 people in Kansas City, MO and from that day forward
was driven to pursue his career as a performing artist. Eventually
Shane performed lead roles in several musicals including Grease,
Into the Woods, and Oklahoma.
In
2003 Shane finished his first CD, “Montana on My Mind”,
in Nashville, TN. The song “Finer Things” from that
album was featured on the nationally syndicated Lia Show. Additionally,
in 2005 Shane Clouse and his band Stomping Ground were chosen
as “Montana’s Best Country Act” by winning the
state Colgate Country Showdown and placing at the Western United
States regional level. In 2007 Shane was also chosen “Best
Male Actor” by the readers of the Missoula Independent and
in June, 2008, Shane Clouse and Stomping Ground released their
CD “Midnight on the Highway”. In his varied career
Shane has shared the stage with Don Williams, Ike Reilly, Mickey
& the Motorcars, Phil Vasser, Joe Nichols, Huey Lewis, Sawyer
Brown, Michael Martin Murphy, Tom Russell, and most recently with
Dierks Bentley during Dierks’ 2008 summer tour.
Shane
continues to hone his songwriting skills and has co-written many
songs with his friend and mentor songwriting legend “Kostas”
(“Timber”, Patty Loveless “I can Love you Better”,
Dixie Chicks). Shane also opened for the Tim Ryan “Writer’s
in the Round Celebrity Golf Tournament 2008”. Shane is a
passionate supporter of community and currently serves on the
boards of the Missoula Community Foundation, Chamber of Commerce
Agribusiness Committee and the Clark Fork River Farmer’s
Market. Shane is the “Official Troubadour” of the Montana
Wildlife Federation and International Wildlife Film Festival,
and in conjunction with these great non-profit organizations he
released the a “Songs of Montana” compilation CD to
raise money for the “Montana Matters” 2009 campaign.
With
the support and devotion of his loving wife Kelly, Shane continues
to pursue his performing career and is releasing his next solo
cd “Good Thing Going On” summer 2009. Combining his
unique career and Montana perspectives, Shane Clouse offers an
authentic and sincere voice to modern country music
