A salt-of-the-earth southerner with a straight-shooting swagger and kind smile, Shane Profitt’s musical toolbox is full of all-natural talent. At the end of 2021, he was still pulling overtime at his job with the city, busting his back about an hour south of Nashville and living for the weekend. But now, he is rocking sold-out crowds at the historic Ryman Auditorium, earning standing ovations at the Grand Ole Opry, and writing country hits. Shane talks what pushed him to learn to play the guitar, a chance meeting with Chris Janson in a sushi restaurant, putting in his two weeks notice at his job, going on tour, writing songs and more.
