Shane Barnard and Shane Everett met in college at Texas A&M, and would quickly begin singing harmonies together. After Shane Barnard and his former bandmate, Caleb Carruth went their separate ways, Barnard would start a solo career with Everett backing him up on vocals. The two would release a solo album under Barnard’s name and another under Everett’s name, they would make their partnership official, becoming the duo Shane & Shane.

Shane & Shane’s first outing under this new name would be “Psalms” in 2002. After releasing follow-up albums annually for the next three years, as well as a live album and a DVD, Shane & Shane decided to take a break, returning in 2007 with “Pages”. Over the next 5 years, the duo continued touring and releasing four albums, as well as a Christmas album, “Glory In The Highest”.

Over the years, Shane & Shane have released numerous albums, but have most recently released a number of popular singles such as “Oh But God” and “You’ve Already Won.” With all the memorable songs that this duo has brought us, some of their best songs have been their most recent. Any time this duo shares a new song with the world, we cannot contain our excitement and are always eager to hear what they will do next.

Shane & Shane have been singing together for a long time, but the evolution of their sound has only gotten richer. Shane & Shane give this advice to any up-and-coming Christian artists. 

“The person who is gifted, who loves where they are in life and is truly content in the Lord, is the one we are usually envisioning as someone who can handle the stress and pitfalls of a platform life. This person has ambition, but at the end of the day, they are satisfied with where they are.”
