A salt-of-the-earth Southerner with straight-shooting swagger and a kind smile, Shane Profitt is an authentic, all-natural talent poised to become one of Nashville’s most exciting new acts. The Columbia, TN, native began his musical journey only a few years ago with a simple ambition: to learn to play Hank Jr. songs on the guitar. Starting with three chords (G, C, and D) and putting in the time, he quickly mastered the instrument.

Gifted with a heavy-duty vocal, Profitt became a regular draw at the popular Southern cooking chain Puckett’s, traveling all over Tennessee for weekend shows while still holding down his job back home, working for the City of Columbia mowing ditches. Since then, he has rocked sold-out shows at the historic Ryman Auditorium, earned standing ovations at the Grand Ole Opry, and begun writing modern Country music rooted in his blue-collar upbringing.

With tracks like “Still Picks Up,” the emerging artist introduces more layers and emotion to his usual feel-good, windows-down sound, telling stories that hit close to home every time. The vulnerable tune followed the debut of his upfront writing style and barrel-chested voice on the three-song collection Maury County Line (BMLG Records / Harpeth 60 Records). With songs such as the hook-filled honky-tonker “Better Off Fishin’,” chest-thumping charmer “Guys Like Me,” and his hopeful, heaven-on-earth Top 15 Country radio single “How It Oughta Be,” it’s clear he puts his life to music—along with the lives of so many others.

Now, Profitt is stepping into his next chapter with Maverick Nashville Management and joining the roster of Triple Tigers Records, each helping steward his talents toward a long-lasting and impactful career. Recently, he released his latest EP, Population Me, out now. The project includes standout tracks such as “Penny to My Name” and fan-favorite “Long Live Country,” as well as a collaboration with one of his musical heroes, Randy Houser. Population Me showcases an artist on the rise whose booming voice, connective songwriting, and warm personality continue to win over fans across the country.
