Details:
As a guitarist, Shane Fontayne has toured, performed and recorded with Bruce Springsteen, Paul Simon, Marc Cohn, Steve Forbert, Shania Twain, Rod Stewart, Bryan Adams, Mick Taylor and John Waite. He has collaborated as a writer and co-producer with Waite and also with Maria McKee, as a member of Lone Justice.

In 2000, Shane embarked on a career as a solo artist, mostly performing in the Los Angeles area. His debut solo CD "What Nature Intended" is being played on the prestigious KCRW radio station in Santa Monica,CA.

Kastle Wasserman wrote in the L.A.Times that Shane's solo material is "impressive" and in her Los Angeles @ nite web page she writes:

"....I was delighted to make a discovery of my own. I happened upon a set by guitarist Shane Fontayne (who played with Lone Justice and Bruce Springsteen during the non-E Street years). This guy has the kind of voice you'd hear in old fashioned Christmas carols and the stage presence of a confident, seasoned performer. He's a real ear-turner!"

Shane's songwriting style is rooted in his upbringing-England in the 1960's. The material on What Nature Intended is melodic, sometimes lush with vocal harmonies-at times driving and sardonic and at other times, ethereal and romantic.
