About Shane Profitt
A salt-of-the-earth southerner with straight-shooting swagger, Shane Profitt is quickly becoming one of Nashville’s most exciting new acts and is currently touring with Luke Bryan. The 25-year-old from Columbia, TN, started out just wanting to play Hank Jr. songs on guitar. After mastering three chords, he built a following playing weekends at Puckett’s Grocery & Restaurant while working for the city mowing ditches. Since then, he’s sold out the Ryman Auditorium, earned standing ovations at the Grand Ole Opry, and released blue-collar anthems like “Better Off Fishin’,” “Guys Like Me,” and the Top 15 single “How It Oughta Be” from Maury County Line. Now signed with Triple Tigers Records and Maverick Nashville Management, Profitt is stepping confidently into his next chapter — bringing modern Country rooted in real life.
