Unsigned and Independent is a six episode season podcast hosted by Kevin O’Connell that features unsigned and independent artists and bands in Nashville. The purpose of this podcast is to highlight the journey and grind musicians go through trying to make it in the industry; the journey most fans don’t see leading up to national success.

Speaker 1 (00:10):
Welcome into the bonus episode of Unsigned and Independent. This
is Kevin O'Connell and today something a little different. We
have Shane Profit on him. Shane is not unsigned or independent.
He does have a deal, but he is still so
fresh in the industry and his life has changed so
much in the last year and I wanted to get
him on to tell his story. I heard about him
about six months ago from Chris Jansen, and Chris Jansen
(00:32):
is the guy who discovered him or he discovered Chris
and then they kind of made a relationship. And you'll
hear the story. It's awesome. Make sure you follow Shane
on social media as well at the Shane Profit follow
me at kickoff. Kevin again, this is the bonus episode
to Unsigned and Independent. I appreciate you listening, and here
you go. You're gonna really enjoy this with Shane Profit. Shane,
how you doing today? I am great, man. How are you?
(00:53):
I'm doing great, doing great as a well, it's good
to see you. Excited to be here, very excited to
be here. I'm excited to have you man. And I
don't know if you remember I wanted to say this
for here. We actually met about six months ago or
so at a Chris Jensen album release party, and I
remember Chris was telling me, he was like, Hey, the
Shane guy, watch out for Shane, watch out for Shane everything.
(01:15):
He's gonna blow up. He just met him, you know,
maybe six months before that. So I know you're you're
kind of the story of Chris Jensen, how you met him,
has gotten out there a little bit, and if you could,
if you're not tired of telling it yet, if you
could tell that story and what your life has been
like just in the last twelve months. Either I had
(01:35):
a gig this particular weekend at a place called Puckets
in Columbia, uh, just south of here. So nowhere in Columbia,
Tennessee sells guitar strings. That's where I was born and raised,
That's where I currently live, and we don't have a
music shop at all. Anytime I need guitar strings, I
have to come to Franklin. That's the closest guitar center
(01:56):
to where I live. So I've been talking with this
girl back and forth. I knew I wanted to take
her out. So I had a gig that weekend. I
didn't have any strings. I needed to get strings. So
I was gonna try to make a date out of
going to get guitar strings. So I called her and
I said, hey, I gotta go to you know, guitar center.
Do you want to go with me and I take
you out to eat. We'll make a date out of it.
She said yeah. So we make that, you know, forty
(02:19):
forty five minute drive up to guitar Center and Franklin
and Um, I run in, I get my guitar strings
and come back out half in the truck. And I
told her, I said, hey, you know, I told you
I wasn't gonna starve you what you want to eat
while we're up here, And she said, well, I you know, Shane,
I really like sushi. Now. My stomach immediately kind of
started turning. Whenever I think of sushi, I think of
um almost like fishing bait. You know. It's just the
(02:42):
thought of putting raw fish in my mouth just kind
of turns my stomach. But I was a gentleman that night,
and I punched in the closest sushi restaurant on my phone,
and it was it took me to a place about
four miles down the road, and we get there, I
park and we go to we go to walk in,
and Chris Jansen holds the door format when we go
to walk in, and you recognize it. Oh, absolutely absolutely,
(03:03):
because I had been to seven concerts my whole life,
and to see Chris Jansen was five of the seven. Yeah.
So at that point, I'm nervous and I'm excited. I'm
about as nervous as a long tailed cat in a
room full of rocking chairs. And I didn't want to
say anything, you know, at first. So they go and
they set us, and um, they set us as far
(03:25):
apart as you can possibly sit. He's sitting right by
the door and we're in the back corner. They come
get our drink, shoulders and and everything, and I asked
the girl that I'm with what I need to order,
and she says, well, you might try spicy tuna roll.
You might like that. They bring it out. I took
one bite of it and I absolutely hated it. I
waded it up in the napkin, put you know, put
the waded up napkin on the plates so that the
(03:46):
plate forward. I was done. So I had all this
time to think about how I was gonna approach Chris Jansen,
because at that point, I had been writing songs maybe
a year. I was writing all these songs. Um, a
lot of times I would take my guitar to work,
and as soon as I would get off work, I
would drive Nashville and right with whoever would write with me. Anyways,
(04:06):
I noticed that it's one of those places where they
bring you your ticket and put it face down on
the table, slide it to you, and whenever you get
done eating, you get up and you go and pay
it the cash register. Right, So I had all this
time to think about it, so I had it in
my mind. I had it planned up where whenever I
(04:26):
saw Chris Jansen stand up to go pay after he
was done eating, I was just so happy to be
paying right behind him, and you know, I could introduce
myself that way, he wouldn't be with his family. I
wouldn't be interrupted dinner. And um, was that the only
thing on your mind? I mean, let's be honest here,
when you, oh, absolutely, do you even have like a
normal conversation with her? No? At one point she even said, hey,
(04:48):
are you okay? Yeah? Because I mean I was you
gotta you gotta realize, man, I was straight a stalker
status like Chris Jansen, Like I'm I'm hardcore creeping across
the restaurant, Like, is this the one artist that if
you could see how it would be Chris Jansen like that,
you would hope for absolutely absolutely as a country music
and as an artist itself too. And this is who
(05:10):
you're in the same sushi restaurant which you never go to. Yeah,
I'd never been just never been to a sushi That's
that's awesome. Okay, well continue, Yeah, Chris, Chris is hands down,
um the one person. If I I couldn't have wrote
it up any better, I'll say that. So I see
(05:30):
Chris Jansen stand up and boom. I grabbed the ticket,
I grabbed the girl. I'm like, come on, this is
my chance. So we get to walking across the restaurant
and we get about halfway to Chris and he sits
right back down, and I'm like, oh gosh, what am
I gonna do now? Because I mean, I'm standing all
awkward in the middle of the restaurant. Everybody's kind of
looking at me like what in the world is this
(05:52):
guy doing? So I'm like, well, I'm halfway committed at
this point. I'm just gonna go for it. So I
go up to the table and I kneel down right
beside him, and I introduced myself and told him what
a fan I was, and um that it would mean
the world to me if he would take the time
to listen to some of my originals. And before he
could even say anything, his wife, Kelly was sitting right
(06:13):
beside him, and she spoke up and she said, Hey,
I'm Kelly. I'm Chris's wife. I'm his manager, and I'm
also a music publisher. I would love to listen to
the songs. Is is that a receipt you're holding in
your hand. I write my email down on the back
of it, and you can send me some songs. And
I promise you when we leave here, we'll listen to him.
I said, yes, ma'am, that would be great. Oh man,
(06:37):
Kelly and Chris both they are I call him the
power couple. I mean, dude, they are just go, go go,
and they are the nicest human beings you'll ever meet
in your life. Agree, And they go so well together. No, no, yeah,
they do. You know it's do it's they go so
well together. And I think they jell so well together
at the That's why he's successful, she's successful. It's absolutely
(07:00):
really have one without the other in a combination of
both of them. It's yeah, it's the a team. Yeah.
I mean, like even even whenever Chris goes out of
state and you know, flies to these shows or whatever.
If he's in in Pennsylvania for one night, he has
a show there and flies there, his wife and kids
are gonna be there like that. That's another thing. Man
(07:21):
like Chris is a hands down family man and that's
that's why I respect him so much. Um, they've all
changed my life. And dude, that I mean, I look
at him like family now. So that's awesome. And then
so you get the email. Oh yeah, yeah, so um
she said, hey, is that a receipt you're holding in
your hand. I'll write my email down on the back
(07:42):
of it and you can send me some songs. And
I said, yes, ma'am, that would be great. And I'm
cheeseing ear to ear, you know, I'm smiling. And Chris
immediately looked at me and he said, did you just
say yes, ma'am? And I said, yes, sir, I did,
and he said, I liked that a lot. Pull up
a chair and talk to me. So I did, and
we sat there at that sushi restaurant, at their table,
and we talked for over an hour that night about music.
(08:05):
I mean, so it started off. I didn't want to
just go up to him, you know, whenever I pulled
that chair up, I didn't just want to music. Music, music.
I didn't want to talk about that. UM. So we
started talking about hunting. We started talking about fishing because
I knew he was a big outdoorsman. Um. And then
you know, later on in the conversation the music and
the songwriting came about. Literally if you could imagine it,
(08:27):
we talked about it. That night. We talked about everything
under the sun at that sushi restaurant. I actually I
ended up getting his phone number that night too. So
we sat there and we talked for like over an hour.
And actually the girl that I was with, she goes
back and finishes her sushi role while I'm sitting here
talking to Chris. Yeah, because I didn't even let her
finish eating, Because when I saw Chris stand up, I
(08:50):
was like, Hey, this is my chance. Bless her heart.
She was only like halfway done eating, which I mean, honestly,
I didn't really give her time to be upset because
I mean I was just so aled in, but um,
not that it would matter anyway. Yeah, I mean, yeah
it worked out. Um after sitting there for I don't
it was at least an hour. Um, I got up
(09:11):
and I told him, I said, hey, man, thank you
for taking the time to talk with me. It really
does mean a lot. You made my night. And I
also told him, I said, man, you also, you know,
you gotta realize I don't even eat sushi. I can't
help but think that it was a god thing that
you held that door for me when we walked in,
like it it's all part of a bigger, you know,
bigger plan, like you're my I am a huge, huge
(09:34):
Chris Jansen fan like you. You don't understand did you
have trouble trying to find not to be too much
of a fan boy but also keeping a normal conversation
or did it kind of just come my biggest thing?
And actually the girl that I was with, she she
asked me, She was like, hey, do you want me
to get a picture of y'all? And I was like no,
And I can honestly say to this day, I still
(09:55):
not asked Chris Jansen for a picture. I ended up
getting up and shaking his hand in telling him how
much you know, it meant to me. He took the
time to talk with me and told him I thought
it was a god thing that we were both there
that night. And um, I go to walk off, and
he's like, hey, hey, we're we're done eating too, Like
we'll just walk out together. So we ended up walking
out together, and they had like this little patio set
(10:16):
up outside because the restaurant had already closed, they were
just staying open because we were sitting there talking, And
we go to walk out and we sit down at
the little outdoor patio part and we sit there and
we talked for another through thirty at least thirty forty
five minutes. So I had been talking with my musical
hero for an hour and forty five minutes. So I mean,
(10:39):
I'm I'm on cloud nine. And um we sit there
and we talk and we talk and we talk, and
it gets time to leave, and UM, I go and
I unlocked my truck and I go to hop in
my truck and you know kind of like before you
close the door, how you might have like one leg
hanging out right before you close the door. Well, it
(11:00):
was like that, and I see Chris running up to
my window, and I had my key in the ignition.
I just hadn't turned my truck on yet, and I
didn't want to close the close the door in Chris
Jansen's face. So I go and I turned the key
on and I pressed the window to roll down, and
as soon as I do that, my bluetooth automatically kicked
back onto what was playing on my phone when I
(11:22):
got there originally, and it was a song off of
his first ever album, and it was absolutely blaring, and
I was so embarrassed. I was like, oh, dude, I'm
so sorry, Like that wasn't playing, I promised, And he
could see how embarrassed I was, and he thought it
was hilarious and he was like, dude, don't worry about it.
That's that's amazing. He said, hey, let me see your phone.
So I handed in my phone and he punched in
(11:44):
his contact information, put his number in there, and he said,
all right, text me, and I said, okay, I will,
and he said, no, text me right now, dinghis that way,
I have your number two. So I texted him that way,
he had my phone number, and before we got out
of the parking lot that night he texted me. I
mean as soon as he got back to his car,
he texted me and he said, hey, Shane, super good
(12:05):
to meet you. Um, when you said I made your night,
you got to know that you made mine when you
said it was a god thing that really touched my heart.
And so from that day on we've we've been best friends.
And like I said, I look at all the Jansens
like family and Um. Two weeks after that night and
I sent those songs and everything, Chris offered me a
(12:26):
publishing deal and asked me to come out on the
halfway to Crazy two are an open for him in
two weeks. In two weeks, just like did you have
any idea or did you have any doubt when you
left that night? Like not not doubt as in you know,
Chris is a genuine guy, but like, Okay, that was awesome,
but I don't know if I'll ever see him again.
Well yeah, yeah I did, um. But at the same time,
(12:50):
first impressions are everything for me. And I could tell
that Chris and and Kelly and and their family, it's
a lot like mine. They are just normal people living
a not so normal life. Um. In a in a way.
You know, I can, I can normally normally smell bs,
(13:12):
you know before I step in it, and I could
tell that they were as real as it gets, and
they are they truly are there normal people living a
not so normal life. Um, but you know they're at
the end of the day, they're a family and they're
they're just normal people. It was that easier for you
(13:32):
to relate to them like that because you sound like
you come from the same background, same upbringing, same type
of morals, genuine appreciation for people and respect. So do
you think that connection between you two absolutely what set
it off? Absolutely? Obviously you said all the right things,
but it's not like you were trying to be somebody else.
You're just being yourself and Chris appreciated that with him, right, Yeah, exactly. Um,
(13:53):
I think I think it all starts at home. And
you know, I'm very blessed and fortunate to have a
family where I could tell them I wanted uh be
an astronaut and they would watch watch the rocket ship
pick off tomorrow. You know, I have a very supportive family.
Obviously with all this going on, they are so so
(14:15):
happy for me. And the other day my mom said
you know, I would. I would much rather watch something
like this happen to you than me or your daddy.
So I mean that that's a true testament to what
kind of family I have. And um, obviously Chris and
Kelly have been over backwards in all kinds of ways
for me, and there's absolutely no way I could ever
(14:38):
thank them for what they've done from me. You grew
up on the banjo music, the old country old oh yeah,
the old school stuff. So you grew up listening to
this And did you know as a kid, I mean
you didn't pick up a guitar until recently to some
as far as you know, um, your age, did you
know as a kid like, hey, maybe I want to
do this someday. Actually, funny story, banjoe was actually the
(15:00):
first thing I ever picked up. My dad used to
teach banjo lessons. He can straight up play a banjo.
He got me a youth banjo, I think when I
was like seven or eight. But I had the attention
span of of a desk when when he was trying
to teach me banjo. I learned a couple like a
little half songs, but I never I never really got
(15:22):
good on it, and then I actually picked up a
dough bro a couple of years later. So my my
parents had like this bluegrass band, and um, they would
just play at churches locally and you know restaurants. I
remember like every Friday night they would play at the
local UM Mexican restaurant. Yeah, and uh, I mean I
(15:44):
would go yeah, oh yeah. I mean it was just
because they enjoyed it. But I remember one time they
my dad uh let me come up and he had
brought my little special dough bro and I I sat
up there and I played a song with him playing
that playing that bro. I'm sure it was awful, but um,
he made sure to involve me. Yeah, definitely. Your parents
(16:07):
are something that you said, are you know, big staple
in your life and growing up and being true to
who you are. And speaking of that, your new EP
that was recently released had three songs. EP is called
Morey County County Line, Murray Murray County, Murray County Line,
and I'm sure you're it's the county that you're from,
Okay in Tennessee. The songs are better off fishing guys
(16:28):
like me and how it ought to be. I'd like
to play him here but we do to legal reasons,
we can't play them. But I love all three of them.
I remember I listened to like How It Ought to
Be first, Oh, this is a good one. I even
sent it to my dad that and then I listened
to guys like me and I'm like, hey, another good one.
And then you go to better Off Fishing, and I
(16:50):
gotta say, I think Better Off Fishing might be my favorite.
And I'm not even a big fisherman. But the point
I'm getting at with all this is all three of
these seem like it's something that you are who you are,
Like these songs represent who you are? Is that correct?
Is that something that you try to stay true to? Absolutely?
And you know that those three songs represent who I
(17:10):
am as a person. And another thing is, like you
just said, it's called Murray County Line because that's where
I was born, that's where I was raised, it's where
I live currently. And I think, you know, no matter
what happens in the future career wise, it's important to
always remember where you really come from. And that's why
(17:32):
I wanted to name it Murray County Line. Um. And
all three of these songs are so different, but yet
um so much fun in in each one of their ways. UM,
guys like me, for instance, like I was literally just
working a city job, and guys like me talks about
that blue collar, um kind of lifestyle. And I know,
(17:56):
you know, obviously probably most of the people listening to
this they get up and they punched that clocket at
six in the morning, um, you know, because they had
bills do next week or whenever. And that's exactly what
that song is about. And better off fishing if you
like fishing, and you know it's better off fishing is
actually kind of a it is a breakup song. And
(18:18):
that's also a true story. UM. So I was I
was dating this this girl, not the sushi restaurant girls. UM,
I was dating this girl and I was supposed to
spend the day with her, um and I ended up
ditching her to go fishing. And she tried calling me
and calling me and calling me throughout the whole morning
(18:38):
and I kept declining it. Um. But where I screwed
up was I posted a picture on Facebook holding up
a stringer full of fish, and she saw it and
she had to come apart. And when I finally did
talk to her, uh, she gave me an earful to
say the least, and we ended up breaking up. Actually,
the day of the fish fry is when we broke up,
(19:00):
was supposed to bring the cold slaw, but um, we
didn't have cold slaw at that fish fry. And uh,
I remember the last thing I told her, because she
asked me. She said, well, since you ditched me today,
are you at least gonna come see me tonight? And
I thought about it, and I said, well, I'm gonna
have all these fish to clean, and I'm you know,
I'm not gonna leave early if if all we're gonna
(19:21):
do is argue, so I'm better I'll stay in here
fishing from That's where it came from. Did it hit
you right then and there? Did you write this song
years later? No? So I yeah, I wrote the idea down.
My my phone is full of song ideas, and I
wrote that idea down. And I didn't even have you know,
uh uh melody or anything in my head at the time.
(19:41):
But mainly I was just focused on fishing. I wasn't
trying to write a song right then and there. But um,
and then you know that every every single one of
these song ideas come from something real and that's another thing.
I am very proud to be a a writer on
(20:01):
all of my all of my songs, and I think
that's why they mean so much to me. Um, you know,
I don't know if you have any siblings, but I do.
And growing up, you know, a lot of times as
a kid, you would ask your your mom or dad
who the favorite is, and uh, they would they would
never never give an answer. They'd say, well, I love
(20:22):
all my kids the same, and you would think, right
then and there, ah, that's gotta be a lie. They
gotta they gotta have a favorite. But this EP is
a true testament to that. I don't have any kids,
but at the same time, these songs are kind of
like my kids. But I have to say with that
me and said, um, how it Ought to Be is
(20:42):
my favorite right now, probably just because I was listening
to it when I pulled in the parking lot. But um,
you know, every day is different. Tomorrow it could be
better offishing the next day. It could be guys like me.
But right now I would have to say, my absolute
favorite is how It Ought to Be? And when I
sat down to that song, um with the co writers
(21:03):
man it, I had the idea because I had just
quit my city job and gas was almost five dollars
a gallon, and all the craziness going on in today's world,
and I got to thinking, man, you know, all this
shouldn't be like that. We should learn to love each
other and not talk trash about each other and just
be better human beings in general. And in the course
of how it ought to be, it says the world
(21:25):
ought to try a piece of Mama's chicken and feel
the love around our table top in the kitchen. And
I was very blessed and fortunate to grow up in
a home instead of a house where my mom would
cook supper just about every night, and we'd sit there
at the dinner table as a family, and we would pray,
and we would, you know, just have dinner and just
(21:47):
be us. And I can't help but think that if
everybody in today's world had a little bit of that
family life going on, we'd all be living a whole
lot better in in a lot better world than what
we really are right now. Agreed. I have a couple
of siblings myself and very supportive parents, so I know
exactly what you mean. It makes all the difference in
the world. It does, and your outlooking life and who
(22:09):
you are as a person. And that's awesome that they're
a big influence on you and a big impact of
you growing up. I can tell it means a lot
to you. It's awesome, man. I can hear in your songs.
I can hear in your voice. Do you have a
lot of fans back home now seeing what you're doing
and rooting you on? You ever go back there and perform? Still? Man?
(22:29):
So back home in Murray County. Um, one of my
buddies had a birthday the other day and I was
in town and I didn't I wasn't even supposed to
be in town. Um, but one of my shows got
canceled last minute, and or it didn't get canceled, it
got postponed. So I got to surprise my buddy. He
(22:49):
it was. They had a big table at a different
Mexican restaurant in town, those Mexican spots, Oh yeah, Um.
But so I got to surprise him and go to
his birthday party. And I get there and go to
walk in, and I bet before I even got to
that table, I took pictures with probably at least ten
different people Murray County in Columbia is kind of an
(23:13):
extension of my family, um, if that makes any sense,
because I grew up with all those people, those are
those are my people. And you know, I'm maybe I'm
I'm super blessed and super fortunate to get to do
this for a living, but I'm no better than anybody
listening to this podcast right now. And I just I
(23:34):
want people to to know, you know, I am very
blessed and fortunate to be able to do this, but
I'm no different than anybody else that. So when you
go back there, then do you have do you try
to tell kids or whoever it may. I mean, you're
still so fresh in this at the same time, but
you've also come a long way in six months to
a year. Do you have the chance to tell kids
(23:55):
or people back there? Hey, if you want, if you
have a dream, go chase it. Maybe if you're doing
your job, I get it. Some people have to pay
their bills, they have a family take care of. But
you're a prime example of a guy who took a
shot when the opportunity came, an opportunity that you wouldn't
have thought of it a Susie restaurant restaurant, But are
you able to relay that message. I guess is where
I'm getting at is if you have a dream for
(24:18):
all the listeners listen to this, you know, give it
a shot. You never know where you'll be in a
year from now. Absolutely. Um, Here's here's the thing that
I would I would say is when the night that
I got ready to approach Chris Jansen and I went
to ask him if he would take the time to
listen to my music, He's going to give one of
(24:38):
two answers, yes or no. So the way I kind
of look at it is you have a fifty fifty
shot either way. He can either say yes or he
can say no. And that's the same thing with anything.
If if you want to pursue something, either it's gonna
happen or it's not. But don't no mat ter what
(25:00):
it is. Just ask yourself, is this is this gonna
be something where twenty years I looked down the road
and wonder what if? Because I know whenever, you know,
in ten years, when I'm or twenty, I guess when
when I'm married one day and and have kids. Um,
whenever my kid asked what did I want to be
(25:21):
when I grew up? I wouldn't have any doubt saying, well,
you know, I gave it, I gave it all that
I had, but uh, it just didn't work out. I
want to know that I did give it my all,
and uh, you know, I just I think it's important
(25:42):
that we all just kind of capitalize on what we
really want to do and pursue um. And I'm kind
of a kind of a walking testimony to that. Don't
don't wonder what if? Because if I hadn't went up
to Chris that night, I'd still be medians cutting grass
and the medians of the road. So and I'll add
(26:04):
this as well, this is more just I guess a
personal thing for me just knowing you very briefly, I
think because of who you are, you know and you're
staying true to your roots and you're not going up
to Chris and acting like you were somebody that you're not,
because a guy like him or most people will be
able to sense it out just like you did, or
you do yourself. So I think you being who you
are and I can tell you're genuine, I can tell
(26:25):
everything you say you mean, I think that has also
carried you to where you've gotten too so far, and
will continue to carry you. So for anybody listening to
what you just said and to watch your story, listen
to your story. I also think that's a huge thing too.
And I think it's gotten to you, gotten you to
where you're at now, and it's awesome to see. Man.
I'm very not before you. It's really cool. Like I said,
(26:46):
I saw you six months ago for the first time,
and Chris is talking all about you, and here we
are six months later. I had no idea we'd be
sitting down and talking like this, but I'm very glad
we did. This is awesome. I know you're gonna You're
gonna do great things, and I'm sure we'll see each
other down the road at some point again. I sure hope.
So if or the next what are the next six
(27:07):
months looking like? Do you know yet? Are you just
kind of weing in it here? You got a lot's
kind of coming to an end of here. What I
said to it's tour season kind of coming to the
end here. Yes, it is, um right now, I'm on
radio tour. I've been on radio tour. That's another thing.
This is my eleventh week on radio talk and I
gotta say getting up at five or six in the
(27:32):
morning now versus nine months ago. The differences is when
I wake up, uh five or six in the morning. Now,
I am truly excited to get my day started because
nine months ago, I had only ever been to four
states Tennessee, Alabama, Florida, Kentucky, and now I'm up to
(27:55):
forty three states. So getting to see all these places
and meet all these different people, um, and you know,
just eat all these different foods and just experience more
than just Middle Tennessee, which I love Middle Tennessee. I
wouldn't want to live anywhere else, but just getting to
(28:17):
experience so much. You don't really realize what you're missing
out on until you've actually seen what you're missing out on.
And uh So, getting getting to go out and see
all these different places and meet all these people is
truly life changing. And uh I am very very fortunate
to be, you know, be able to do this now
(28:38):
and um, just get to experience all this it it's
truly amazing. It's only gonna get better. Man, I'm excited
for your future. You can follow him at the Shane

Welcome into the bonus episode of Unsigned and Independent. This
is Kevin O'Connell and today something a little different. We
have Shane Profit on him. Shane is not unsigned or independent.
He does have a deal, but he is still so
fresh in the industry and his life has changed so
much in the last year and I wanted to get
him on to tell his story. I heard about him
about six months ago from Chris Jansen, and Chris Jansen
(00:32):
is the guy who discovered him or he discovered Chris
and then they kind of made a relationship. And you'll
hear the story. It's awesome. Make sure you follow Shane
on social media as well at the Shane Profit follow
me at kickoff. Kevin again, this is the bonus episode
to Unsigned and Independent. I appreciate you listening, and here
you go. You're gonna really enjoy this with Shane Profit. Shane,
how you doing today? I am great, man. How are you?
(00:53):
I'm doing great, doing great as a well, it's good
to see you. Excited to be here, very excited to
be here. I'm excited to have you man. And I
don't know if you remember I wanted to say this
for here. We actually met about six months ago or
so at a Chris Jensen album release party, and I
remember Chris was telling me, he was like, Hey, the
Shane guy, watch out for Shane, watch out for Shane everything.
(01:15):
He's gonna blow up. He just met him, you know,
maybe six months before that. So I know you're you're
kind of the story of Chris Jensen, how you met him,
has gotten out there a little bit, and if you could,
if you're not tired of telling it yet, if you
could tell that story and what your life has been
like just in the last twelve months. Either I had
(01:35):
a gig this particular weekend at a place called Puckets
in Columbia, uh, just south of here. So nowhere in Columbia,
Tennessee sells guitar strings. That's where I was born and raised,
That's where I currently live, and we don't have a
music shop at all. Anytime I need guitar strings, I
have to come to Franklin. That's the closest guitar center
(01:56):
to where I live. So I've been talking with this
girl back and forth. I knew I wanted to take
her out. So I had a gig that weekend. I
didn't have any strings. I needed to get strings. So
I was gonna try to make a date out of
going to get guitar strings. So I called her and
I said, hey, I gotta go to you know, guitar center.
Do you want to go with me and I take
you out to eat. We'll make a date out of it.
She said yeah. So we make that, you know, forty
(02:19):
forty five minute drive up to guitar Center and Franklin
and Um, I run in, I get my guitar strings
and come back out half in the truck. And I
told her, I said, hey, you know, I told you
I wasn't gonna starve you what you want to eat
while we're up here, And she said, well, I you know, Shane,
I really like sushi. Now. My stomach immediately kind of
started turning. Whenever I think of sushi, I think of
um almost like fishing bait. You know. It's just the
(02:42):
thought of putting raw fish in my mouth just kind
of turns my stomach. But I was a gentleman that night,
and I punched in the closest sushi restaurant on my phone,
and it was it took me to a place about
four miles down the road, and we get there, I
park and we go to we go to walk in,
and Chris Jansen holds the door format when we go
to walk in, and you recognize it. Oh, absolutely absolutely,
(03:03):
because I had been to seven concerts my whole life,
and to see Chris Jansen was five of the seven. Yeah.
So at that point, I'm nervous and I'm excited. I'm
about as nervous as a long tailed cat in a
room full of rocking chairs. And I didn't want to
say anything, you know, at first. So they go and
they set us, and um, they set us as far
(03:25):
apart as you can possibly sit. He's sitting right by
the door and we're in the back corner. They come
get our drink, shoulders and and everything, and I asked
the girl that I'm with what I need to order,
and she says, well, you might try spicy tuna roll.
You might like that. They bring it out. I took
one bite of it and I absolutely hated it. I
waded it up in the napkin, put you know, put
the waded up napkin on the plates so that the
(03:46):
plate forward. I was done. So I had all this
time to think about how I was gonna approach Chris Jansen,
because at that point, I had been writing songs maybe
a year. I was writing all these songs. Um, a
lot of times I would take my guitar to work,
and as soon as I would get off work, I
would drive Nashville and right with whoever would write with me. Anyways,
(04:06):
I noticed that it's one of those places where they
bring you your ticket and put it face down on
the table, slide it to you, and whenever you get
done eating, you get up and you go and pay
it the cash register. Right, So I had all this
time to think about it, so I had it in
my mind. I had it planned up where whenever I
(04:26):
saw Chris Jansen stand up to go pay after he
was done eating, I was just so happy to be
paying right behind him, and you know, I could introduce
myself that way, he wouldn't be with his family. I
wouldn't be interrupted dinner. And um, was that the only
thing on your mind? I mean, let's be honest here,
when you, oh, absolutely, do you even have like a
normal conversation with her? No? At one point she even said, hey,
(04:48):
are you okay? Yeah? Because I mean I was you
gotta you gotta realize, man, I was straight a stalker
status like Chris Jansen, Like I'm I'm hardcore creeping across
the restaurant, Like, is this the one artist that if
you could see how it would be Chris Jansen like that,
you would hope for absolutely absolutely as a country music
and as an artist itself too. And this is who
(05:10):
you're in the same sushi restaurant which you never go to. Yeah,
I'd never been just never been to a sushi That's
that's awesome. Okay, well continue, Yeah, Chris, Chris is hands down,
um the one person. If I I couldn't have wrote
it up any better, I'll say that. So I see
(05:30):
Chris Jansen stand up and boom. I grabbed the ticket,
I grabbed the girl. I'm like, come on, this is
my chance. So we get to walking across the restaurant
and we get about halfway to Chris and he sits
right back down, and I'm like, oh gosh, what am
I gonna do now? Because I mean, I'm standing all
awkward in the middle of the restaurant. Everybody's kind of
looking at me like what in the world is this
(05:52):
guy doing? So I'm like, well, I'm halfway committed at
this point. I'm just gonna go for it. So I
go up to the table and I kneel down right
beside him, and I introduced myself and told him what
a fan I was, and um that it would mean
the world to me if he would take the time
to listen to some of my originals. And before he
could even say anything, his wife, Kelly was sitting right
(06:13):
beside him, and she spoke up and she said, Hey,
I'm Kelly. I'm Chris's wife. I'm his manager, and I'm
also a music publisher. I would love to listen to
the songs. Is is that a receipt you're holding in
your hand. I write my email down on the back
of it, and you can send me some songs. And
I promise you when we leave here, we'll listen to him.
I said, yes, ma'am, that would be great. Oh man,
(06:37):
Kelly and Chris both they are I call him the
power couple. I mean, dude, they are just go, go go,
and they are the nicest human beings you'll ever meet
in your life. Agree, And they go so well together. No, no, yeah,
they do. You know it's do it's they go so
well together. And I think they jell so well together
at the That's why he's successful, she's successful. It's absolutely
(07:00):
really have one without the other in a combination of
both of them. It's yeah, it's the a team. Yeah.
I mean, like even even whenever Chris goes out of
state and you know, flies to these shows or whatever.
If he's in in Pennsylvania for one night, he has
a show there and flies there, his wife and kids
are gonna be there like that. That's another thing. Man
(07:21):
like Chris is a hands down family man and that's
that's why I respect him so much. Um, they've all
changed my life. And dude, that I mean, I look
at him like family now. So that's awesome. And then
so you get the email. Oh yeah, yeah, so um
she said, hey, is that a receipt you're holding in
your hand. I'll write my email down on the back
(07:42):
of it and you can send me some songs. And
I said, yes, ma'am, that would be great. And I'm
cheeseing ear to ear, you know, I'm smiling. And Chris
immediately looked at me and he said, did you just
say yes, ma'am? And I said, yes, sir, I did,
and he said, I liked that a lot. Pull up
a chair and talk to me. So I did, and
we sat there at that sushi restaurant, at their table,
and we talked for over an hour that night about music.
(08:05):
I mean, so it started off. I didn't want to
just go up to him, you know, whenever I pulled
that chair up, I didn't just want to music. Music, music.
I didn't want to talk about that. UM. So we
started talking about hunting. We started talking about fishing because
I knew he was a big outdoorsman. Um. And then
you know, later on in the conversation the music and
the songwriting came about. Literally if you could imagine it,
(08:27):
we talked about it. That night. We talked about everything
under the sun at that sushi restaurant. I actually I
ended up getting his phone number that night too. So
we sat there and we talked for like over an hour.
And actually the girl that I was with, she goes
back and finishes her sushi role while I'm sitting here
talking to Chris. Yeah, because I didn't even let her
finish eating, Because when I saw Chris stand up, I
(08:50):
was like, Hey, this is my chance. Bless her heart.
She was only like halfway done eating, which I mean, honestly,
I didn't really give her time to be upset because
I mean I was just so aled in, but um,
not that it would matter anyway. Yeah, I mean, yeah
it worked out. Um after sitting there for I don't
it was at least an hour. Um, I got up
(09:11):
and I told him, I said, hey, man, thank you
for taking the time to talk with me. It really
does mean a lot. You made my night. And I
also told him, I said, man, you also, you know,
you gotta realize I don't even eat sushi. I can't
help but think that it was a god thing that
you held that door for me when we walked in,
like it it's all part of a bigger, you know,
bigger plan, like you're my I am a huge, huge
(09:34):
Chris Jansen fan like you. You don't understand did you
have trouble trying to find not to be too much
of a fan boy but also keeping a normal conversation
or did it kind of just come my biggest thing?
And actually the girl that I was with, she she
asked me, She was like, hey, do you want me
to get a picture of y'all? And I was like no,
And I can honestly say to this day, I still
(09:55):
not asked Chris Jansen for a picture. I ended up
getting up and shaking his hand in telling him how
much you know, it meant to me. He took the
time to talk with me and told him I thought
it was a god thing that we were both there
that night. And um, I go to walk off, and
he's like, hey, hey, we're we're done eating too, Like
we'll just walk out together. So we ended up walking
out together, and they had like this little patio set
(10:16):
up outside because the restaurant had already closed, they were
just staying open because we were sitting there talking, And
we go to walk out and we sit down at
the little outdoor patio part and we sit there and
we talked for another through thirty at least thirty forty
five minutes. So I had been talking with my musical
hero for an hour and forty five minutes. So I mean,
(10:39):
I'm I'm on cloud nine. And um we sit there
and we talk and we talk and we talk, and
it gets time to leave, and UM, I go and
I unlocked my truck and I go to hop in
my truck and you know kind of like before you
close the door, how you might have like one leg
hanging out right before you close the door. Well, it
(11:00):
was like that, and I see Chris running up to
my window, and I had my key in the ignition.
I just hadn't turned my truck on yet, and I
didn't want to close the close the door in Chris
Jansen's face. So I go and I turned the key
on and I pressed the window to roll down, and
as soon as I do that, my bluetooth automatically kicked
back onto what was playing on my phone when I
(11:22):
got there originally, and it was a song off of
his first ever album, and it was absolutely blaring, and
I was so embarrassed. I was like, oh, dude, I'm
so sorry, Like that wasn't playing, I promised, And he
could see how embarrassed I was, and he thought it
was hilarious and he was like, dude, don't worry about it.
That's that's amazing. He said, hey, let me see your phone.
So I handed in my phone and he punched in
(11:44):
his contact information, put his number in there, and he said,
all right, text me, and I said, okay, I will,
and he said, no, text me right now, dinghis that way,
I have your number two. So I texted him that way,
he had my phone number, and before we got out
of the parking lot that night he texted me. I
mean as soon as he got back to his car,
he texted me and he said, hey, Shane, super good
(12:05):
to meet you. Um, when you said I made your night,
you got to know that you made mine when you
said it was a god thing that really touched my heart.
And so from that day on we've we've been best friends.
And like I said, I look at all the Jansens
like family and Um. Two weeks after that night and
I sent those songs and everything, Chris offered me a
(12:26):
publishing deal and asked me to come out on the
halfway to Crazy two are an open for him in
two weeks. In two weeks, just like did you have
any idea or did you have any doubt when you
left that night? Like not not doubt as in you know,
Chris is a genuine guy, but like, Okay, that was awesome,
but I don't know if I'll ever see him again.
Well yeah, yeah I did, um. But at the same time,
(12:50):
first impressions are everything for me. And I could tell
that Chris and and Kelly and and their family, it's
a lot like mine. They are just normal people living
a not so normal life. Um. In a in a way.
You know, I can, I can normally normally smell bs,
(13:12):
you know before I step in it, and I could
tell that they were as real as it gets, and
they are they truly are there normal people living a
not so normal life. Um, but you know they're at
the end of the day, they're a family and they're
they're just normal people. It was that easier for you
(13:32):
to relate to them like that because you sound like
you come from the same background, same upbringing, same type
of morals, genuine appreciation for people and respect. So do
you think that connection between you two absolutely what set
it off? Absolutely? Obviously you said all the right things,
but it's not like you were trying to be somebody else.
You're just being yourself and Chris appreciated that with him, right, Yeah, exactly. Um,
(13:53):
I think I think it all starts at home. And
you know, I'm very blessed and fortunate to have a
family where I could tell them I wanted uh be
an astronaut and they would watch watch the rocket ship
pick off tomorrow. You know, I have a very supportive family.
Obviously with all this going on, they are so so
(14:15):
happy for me. And the other day my mom said
you know, I would. I would much rather watch something
like this happen to you than me or your daddy.
So I mean that that's a true testament to what
kind of family I have. And um, obviously Chris and
Kelly have been over backwards in all kinds of ways
for me, and there's absolutely no way I could ever
(14:38):
thank them for what they've done from me. You grew
up on the banjo music, the old country old oh yeah,
the old school stuff. So you grew up listening to
this And did you know as a kid, I mean
you didn't pick up a guitar until recently to some
as far as you know, um, your age, did you
know as a kid like, hey, maybe I want to
do this someday. Actually, funny story, banjoe was actually the
(15:00):
first thing I ever picked up. My dad used to
teach banjo lessons. He can straight up play a banjo.
He got me a youth banjo, I think when I
was like seven or eight. But I had the attention
span of of a desk when when he was trying
to teach me banjo. I learned a couple like a
little half songs, but I never I never really got
(15:22):
good on it, and then I actually picked up a
dough bro a couple of years later. So my my
parents had like this bluegrass band, and um, they would
just play at churches locally and you know restaurants. I
remember like every Friday night they would play at the
local UM Mexican restaurant. Yeah, and uh, I mean I
(15:44):
would go yeah, oh yeah. I mean it was just
because they enjoyed it. But I remember one time they
my dad uh let me come up and he had
brought my little special dough bro and I I sat
up there and I played a song with him playing
that playing that bro. I'm sure it was awful, but um,
he made sure to involve me. Yeah, definitely. Your parents
(16:07):
are something that you said, are you know, big staple
in your life and growing up and being true to
who you are. And speaking of that, your new EP
that was recently released had three songs. EP is called
Morey County County Line, Murray Murray County, Murray County Line,
and I'm sure you're it's the county that you're from,
Okay in Tennessee. The songs are better off fishing guys
(16:28):
like me and how it ought to be. I'd like
to play him here but we do to legal reasons,
we can't play them. But I love all three of them.
I remember I listened to like How It Ought to
Be first, Oh, this is a good one. I even
sent it to my dad that and then I listened
to guys like me and I'm like, hey, another good one.
And then you go to better Off Fishing, and I
(16:50):
gotta say, I think Better Off Fishing might be my favorite.
And I'm not even a big fisherman. But the point
I'm getting at with all this is all three of
these seem like it's something that you are who you are,
Like these songs represent who you are? Is that correct?
Is that something that you try to stay true to? Absolutely?
And you know that those three songs represent who I
(17:10):
am as a person. And another thing is, like you
just said, it's called Murray County Line because that's where
I was born, that's where I was raised, it's where
I live currently. And I think, you know, no matter
what happens in the future career wise, it's important to
always remember where you really come from. And that's why
(17:32):
I wanted to name it Murray County Line. Um. And
all three of these songs are so different, but yet
um so much fun in in each one of their ways. UM,
guys like me, for instance, like I was literally just
working a city job, and guys like me talks about
that blue collar, um kind of lifestyle. And I know,
(17:56):
you know, obviously probably most of the people listening to
this they get up and they punched that clocket at
six in the morning, um, you know, because they had
bills do next week or whenever. And that's exactly what
that song is about. And better off fishing if you
like fishing, and you know it's better off fishing is
actually kind of a it is a breakup song. And
(18:18):
that's also a true story. UM. So I was I
was dating this this girl, not the sushi restaurant girls. UM,
I was dating this girl and I was supposed to
spend the day with her, um and I ended up
ditching her to go fishing. And she tried calling me
and calling me and calling me throughout the whole morning
(18:38):
and I kept declining it. Um. But where I screwed
up was I posted a picture on Facebook holding up
a stringer full of fish, and she saw it and
she had to come apart. And when I finally did
talk to her, uh, she gave me an earful to
say the least, and we ended up breaking up. Actually,
the day of the fish fry is when we broke up,
(19:00):
was supposed to bring the cold slaw, but um, we
didn't have cold slaw at that fish fry. And uh,
I remember the last thing I told her, because she
asked me. She said, well, since you ditched me today,
are you at least gonna come see me tonight? And
I thought about it, and I said, well, I'm gonna
have all these fish to clean, and I'm you know,
I'm not gonna leave early if if all we're gonna
(19:21):
do is argue, so I'm better I'll stay in here
fishing from That's where it came from. Did it hit
you right then and there? Did you write this song
years later? No? So I yeah, I wrote the idea down.
My my phone is full of song ideas, and I
wrote that idea down. And I didn't even have you know,
uh uh melody or anything in my head at the time.
(19:41):
But mainly I was just focused on fishing. I wasn't
trying to write a song right then and there. But um,
and then you know that every every single one of
these song ideas come from something real and that's another thing.
I am very proud to be a a writer on
(20:01):
all of my all of my songs, and I think
that's why they mean so much to me. Um, you know,
I don't know if you have any siblings, but I do.
And growing up, you know, a lot of times as
a kid, you would ask your your mom or dad
who the favorite is, and uh, they would they would
never never give an answer. They'd say, well, I love
(20:22):
all my kids the same, and you would think, right
then and there, ah, that's gotta be a lie. They
gotta they gotta have a favorite. But this EP is
a true testament to that. I don't have any kids,
but at the same time, these songs are kind of
like my kids. But I have to say with that
me and said, um, how it Ought to Be is
(20:42):
my favorite right now, probably just because I was listening
to it when I pulled in the parking lot. But um,
you know, every day is different. Tomorrow it could be
better offishing the next day. It could be guys like me.
But right now I would have to say, my absolute
favorite is how It Ought to Be? And when I
sat down to that song, um with the co writers
(21:03):
man it, I had the idea because I had just
quit my city job and gas was almost five dollars
a gallon, and all the craziness going on in today's world,
and I got to thinking, man, you know, all this
shouldn't be like that. We should learn to love each
other and not talk trash about each other and just
be better human beings in general. And in the course
of how it ought to be, it says the world
(21:25):
ought to try a piece of Mama's chicken and feel
the love around our table top in the kitchen. And
I was very blessed and fortunate to grow up in
a home instead of a house where my mom would
cook supper just about every night, and we'd sit there
at the dinner table as a family, and we would pray,
and we would, you know, just have dinner and just
(21:47):
be us. And I can't help but think that if
everybody in today's world had a little bit of that
family life going on, we'd all be living a whole
lot better in in a lot better world than what
we really are right now. Agreed. I have a couple
of siblings myself and very supportive parents, so I know
exactly what you mean. It makes all the difference in
the world. It does, and your outlooking life and who
(22:09):
you are as a person. And that's awesome that they're
a big influence on you and a big impact of
you growing up. I can tell it means a lot
to you. It's awesome, man. I can hear in your songs.
I can hear in your voice. Do you have a
lot of fans back home now seeing what you're doing
and rooting you on? You ever go back there and perform? Still? Man?
(22:29):
So back home in Murray County. Um, one of my
buddies had a birthday the other day and I was
in town and I didn't I wasn't even supposed to
be in town. Um, but one of my shows got
canceled last minute, and or it didn't get canceled, it
got postponed. So I got to surprise my buddy. He
(22:49):
it was. They had a big table at a different
Mexican restaurant in town, those Mexican spots, Oh yeah, Um.
But so I got to surprise him and go to
his birthday party. And I get there and go to
walk in, and I bet before I even got to
that table, I took pictures with probably at least ten
different people Murray County in Columbia is kind of an
(23:13):
extension of my family, um, if that makes any sense,
because I grew up with all those people, those are
those are my people. And you know, I'm maybe I'm
I'm super blessed and super fortunate to get to do
this for a living, but I'm no better than anybody
listening to this podcast right now. And I just I
(23:34):
want people to to know, you know, I am very
blessed and fortunate to be able to do this, but
I'm no different than anybody else that. So when you
go back there, then do you have do you try
to tell kids or whoever it may. I mean, you're
still so fresh in this at the same time, but
you've also come a long way in six months to
a year. Do you have the chance to tell kids
(23:55):
or people back there? Hey, if you want, if you
have a dream, go chase it. Maybe if you're doing
your job, I get it. Some people have to pay
their bills, they have a family take care of. But
you're a prime example of a guy who took a
shot when the opportunity came, an opportunity that you wouldn't
have thought of it a Susie restaurant restaurant, But are
you able to relay that message. I guess is where
I'm getting at is if you have a dream for
(24:18):
all the listeners listen to this, you know, give it
a shot. You never know where you'll be in a
year from now. Absolutely. Um, Here's here's the thing that
I would I would say is when the night that
I got ready to approach Chris Jansen and I went
to ask him if he would take the time to
listen to my music, He's going to give one of
(24:38):
two answers, yes or no. So the way I kind
of look at it is you have a fifty fifty
shot either way. He can either say yes or he
can say no. And that's the same thing with anything.
If if you want to pursue something, either it's gonna
happen or it's not. But don't no mat ter what
(25:00):
it is. Just ask yourself, is this is this gonna
be something where twenty years I looked down the road
and wonder what if? Because I know whenever, you know,
in ten years, when I'm or twenty, I guess when
when I'm married one day and and have kids. Um,
whenever my kid asked what did I want to be
(25:21):
when I grew up? I wouldn't have any doubt saying, well,
you know, I gave it, I gave it all that
I had, but uh, it just didn't work out. I
want to know that I did give it my all,
and uh, you know, I just I think it's important
(25:42):
that we all just kind of capitalize on what we
really want to do and pursue um. And I'm kind
of a kind of a walking testimony to that. Don't
don't wonder what if? Because if I hadn't went up
to Chris that night, I'd still be medians cutting grass
and the medians of the road. So and I'll add
(26:04):
this as well, this is more just I guess a
personal thing for me just knowing you very briefly, I
think because of who you are, you know and you're
staying true to your roots and you're not going up
to Chris and acting like you were somebody that you're not,
because a guy like him or most people will be
able to sense it out just like you did, or
you do yourself. So I think you being who you
are and I can tell you're genuine, I can tell
(26:25):
everything you say you mean, I think that has also
carried you to where you've gotten too so far, and
will continue to carry you. So for anybody listening to
what you just said and to watch your story, listen
to your story. I also think that's a huge thing too.
And I think it's gotten to you, gotten you to
where you're at now, and it's awesome to see. Man.
I'm very not before you. It's really cool. Like I said,
(26:46):
I saw you six months ago for the first time,
and Chris is talking all about you, and here we
are six months later. I had no idea we'd be
sitting down and talking like this, but I'm very glad
we did. This is awesome. I know you're gonna You're
gonna do great things, and I'm sure we'll see each
other down the road at some point again. I sure hope.
So if or the next what are the next six
(27:07):
months looking like? Do you know yet? Are you just
kind of weing in it here? You got a lot's
kind of coming to an end of here. What I
said to it's tour season kind of coming to the
end here. Yes, it is, um right now, I'm on
radio tour. I've been on radio tour. That's another thing.
This is my eleventh week on radio talk and I
gotta say getting up at five or six in the
(27:32):
morning now versus nine months ago. The differences is when
I wake up, uh five or six in the morning. Now,
I am truly excited to get my day started because
nine months ago, I had only ever been to four
states Tennessee, Alabama, Florida, Kentucky, and now I'm up to
(27:55):
forty three states. So getting to see all these places
and meet all these different people, um, and you know,
just eat all these different foods and just experience more
than just Middle Tennessee, which I love Middle Tennessee. I
wouldn't want to live anywhere else, but just getting to
(28:17):
experience so much. You don't really realize what you're missing
out on until you've actually seen what you're missing out on.
And uh So, getting getting to go out and see
all these different places and meet all these people is
truly life changing. And uh I am very very fortunate
to be, you know, be able to do this now
(28:38):
and um, just get to experience all this it it's
truly amazing. It's only gonna get better. Man, I'm excited
for your future. You can follow him at the Shane
Prophet Correct Media check them out. I promise you is

on the loop, put them on repeat. They're all great
how it ought to be. Yeah, well play worried Shane.
