Shane O'Brien CDs available at http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/shaneobrien CD Baby Indie Music Store is the best independent music store on the web Currently available are two Cd's at Cd Baby, which is the perfect user friendly location to get your copy as Cd Downloads or select any Single from either of 2 Cd's: "The Genuine One" c2009 and "Acoustic, Raw and Real" c2010 Note: Since Shane O'Brien owns a catalog of 24 different Cd's within his music bank, a new Cd release is in the works. The fine points in design and artwork details are being refined as we speak... The expected release date from Jungle Music Productions will be announced after the New Years Eve 2012 show by Shane O'Brien and O'Briens Edge. That performance will be recorded to audio and video. Also, that show may dictate the new music made available soon. Shane has made clear that he prefers an album that contains studio and live music. So a heavy consideration to a double album release is being considered. Stay Tuned on this info. See info on the New Years Eve 2012 show at our blog obriensedge.com

What a Grand Time to be Alive ,Update regarding Shane O’Brien

What a Grand Time to be Alive 

 Update regarding Shane O’Brien and his Musical Life

I accepted the responsibilities that come with the position I agreed to take on with the gang erecting the new Gerald Desmond Bridge Replacement Project Dec 2nd 2016. In doing so I felt it was a must to put my musical life on the back burner, so that’s what I did. I’m glad I did too, because this a good group of men, regarding Local 433 Ironworkers. And the structure is an outstanding project no doubt.

So, can you imagine the constant surprises I get, everytime I get notifications from industry types or emails from Digital retailers containing royalties deposited into a bank for me, or messages from our much appreciated listening audience with words of encouragement or song play requests, and many other positive actions coming my way.
This link should take you to a fine example of some of these elements, which I had received today.
Thank You All
I have about another nine to ten months of project dedication ahead of me, before I plan gigs and produce more music.
Be Safe Everyone
