Shane Tutmarc
Shane Tutmarc (born September 25, 1981) is an American producer, songwriter, singer and multi-instrumentalist. No Depression magazine described Tutmarc's music as "a sound where all the rules of alt. country (or anything usually tagged “Americana”) are grinded down in a kaleidoscope of inventive, stylistic detours, with hints of surrealism."[1]

Tutmarc was the leader of Seattle band Dolour from 1997 to 2007. He has played in several other bands, including United State of Electronica and Shane Tutmarc & The Traveling Mercies. In June 2009, Tutmarc released his first solo album, Shouting at a Silent Sky. In January 2010, he re-located to Nashville, Tennessee.[3] Several of his songs have been featured on television programs and films.[4][5] In 2016, Tutmarc began a new project called Solar Twin.[6][7]
Tutmarc has produced and played instruments on other artists' albums, including Ian McGlynn's "Tomorrow's Taken" (2004), Sameer Shukla's "There's Only One Side Tonight" (2005), Patrick Kinsley's "Rattling the Cage" (2014), Tanya Montana Coe's "Silver Bullet" (2015) and "Hide Your Emotion" (2019), and both of The Explorers Club's 2020 full-length releases.
