Southland-based blues singer-songwriter/guitarist Shane O’Brien

Currently known as the “Genuine One”

Shane O’Brien has been Writing/Recording, Producing/Performing in the Southland as well as across the USA and Canada for the past 26+ years. For most of the better part of ¾’s of those years his music of choice to share with his always receptive fan, family and friends is his own music.

From the very start O’Brien wrote, “That’s The Way” at the tender age of sixteen, which he still performs live today (mostly by audience requests). Shane O’Brien writes songs that relate to individual life experiences. Those good, bad and yes, even the worst of the ugly times that O’Brien has experienced. The kind of things most everyday folks have too, but don’t really care to publicly share. Shy of what others may think, Shane reaches down deep inside to quash this need to get it out. Resulting in a variety of emotions lyrically delivered, and he does just that, deliver. Many who have experience Shane O’Brien and O’Briens Edge “live”, or acquired any one of the 24 CD’s Shane has written/recorded, have written letters or placed phone calls to Shane’s studio in San Pedro, California. These letters are frequently found framed and mounted on the walls of that studio, which is known locally as The Jungle Studio.

“That is where the magic happens…” a quote by Bassist, Sammy Persons, former O’Briens Edge family member.

Each album is packed with music and words of tales many listeners have claimed as their own. “He wrote that song for me…” “I have had that said to me countless number times anywhere I have played or contained in messages sent to me” as described by this Artist.  His music forms a signature sound in your ears and inevitably, right down in your heart. Contained within Shane’s music is the real stuff that we all know and live through ourselves… not fantasy, the real stuff. It’s not too much of stretch to understand why Shane O’Brien titled The O’Briens Edge CD released early this year as being

Tom Branson respected Editor of WWW.BLUESROCKERS.WS (December 2005):

“Canadian-born Shane O’Brien is a San Pedro, California-based singer/songwriter/guitarist whose work is reminiscent of a time when musicians were regular working class people armed with only an instrument of choice and something of substance to say…” It Goes On To Say:“O’Brien’s approach to music is raw and honest; simple and straight-forward; genuine and emotional, which I would guess mirrors his approach to life in general.  By day, he is a Union Ironworker (Local 433, Los Angeles) rubbing elbows with America at the very ground level.  By night, he is somewhat of an urban troubadour traveling from place to place with guitar in hand and songs about life in his heart.  This is American rock music performed by someone to whom a lot of Americans should identify.”
