Shawn Lane tours with his family for a limited number of dates each year, as time allows from his primary band, the award-winning Blue Highway. Shawn Lane & Family features his talented sons Grayson and Garrett, in addition to bass player Marcus Smith for select shows.
The family’s first official appearance was co-headlining with Hall of Famer Larry Sparks in June 2017 at the 21st Annual Stringbean Memorial Bluegrass Festival, which honors Grand Ole Opry Star Stringbean Akemon.
Shawn Lane & Family then headlined the prestigious 44th Annual Southwest Pickers Festival on Sept 14-16, 2018, in beautiful Red River, NM. Blue Highway headlined the event in 2017, with Shawn powering back to headline in 2018.
The band plays hit songs Shawn has written for Blue Highway, and songs like his first single release ~ I MET THE MAN ~ a powerful song about his dad coming back after 17 days in a coma with a miraculous story to tell. The song topped the Bluegrass Today Gospel Chart at #1 for 7 weeks, and held strong for 28 weeks in the Top 10. The single released ahead of Shawn’s third solo album, Shawn Lane: Family & Friends. The much anticipated album will feature Shawn’s family, as well as friends like GRAMMY winner Barry Bales and talented pickers Clay Hess and Patton Wages.
