Who We Are

Hi, we're Shane & Emily!

We are a pop/acoustic/folk duo who incorporate many different elements of diverse genres into our original music. We give off a positive, energetic vibe but we don't shy away from diving into the darker emotions that inspire our music.

Shane and Emily bring a refreshing dynamic to the Tampa Bay music scene with their alternating lead vocals and tight harmonies. As a pop, acoustic, and folk duo, they weave together diverse genre influences to create a sound that feels both familiar and original. Their performances carry a positive, energetic vibe that draws audiences in, yet they are not afraid to explore the deeper, more introspective emotions that inspire their songwriting. This balance of light and shadow gives their music a genuine, relatable quality that resonates with listeners across different settings—from intimate venues and beachside restaurants to larger festivals and theme parks across Florida and beyond.

The duo's journey began with a shared passion for connecting with people through live music. Playing everywhere from local bars and cafes to universities and corporate events, Shane and Emily have built a dedicated following by prioritizing genuine interaction with their audience. Their recently released debut EP marks a significant milestone, capturing the essence of their live energy in a polished studio collection. Each track reflects their commitment to storytelling, blending heartfelt lyrics with memorable melodies. The EP has quickly become a favorite among fans who have followed them from their earliest shows, and it continues to introduce new listeners to their evolving artistry.

Beyond their original material, Shane and Emily are known for their inventive covers that reimagine beloved songs across genres. Whether putting an acoustic spin on classic rock anthems or adding folk warmth to modern pop hits, they make each cover their own. Their setlists often include tributes to artists who have inspired them, creating a bridge between familiar favorites and their own creative voice. This approach has helped them connect with audiences of all ages at venues ranging from Busch Gardens to intimate listening rooms. Their versatility ensures that every show feels fresh, whether they are headlining a festival or providing background music for a relaxed evening.

Looking ahead, Shane and Emily are focused on expanding their reach while staying true to the intimate, fan-centered approach that defines them. They continue to book shows across Florida and beyond, bringing their music to new cities and returning to the local venues that supported their early growth. Active on social media and streaming platforms, they keep fans engaged with behind-the-scenes content, new recordings, and updates on upcoming performances. Their dedication to their craft and their community is evident in every aspect of their work, and they remain committed to spreading joy, connection, and honest emotion through every song they play.
