Singer/songwriter Elvie Shane has announced sophomore album Damascus releasing April 19th, 2023. The album tells the stories of “those often untold, giving each testimony a chance to shine through.” Shane co-wrote all songs on the project Produced by his frequent collaborator, Oscar Charles.

He shares:

I feel like I’ve grown a lot since ‘Backslider.’ I’ve attained just about everything I ever dreamed of…seen the world and made a living with music. I’ve been on top and back down in the mud. In that travel and experience, I’ve paid close attention to people more than anything. I’ve seen a lot of struggle, but in that struggle I found common ground and inspiration. ‘Damascus’ is a record that aims to pick a fight with what holds people down. Normal every day Blue Collar America…my people. These are not all my stories, but they are all stories I believe to be true. But ‘What Do I Know.’

Elvie Shane reminds us that we’re more alike than different with “What Do I Know,” written by Shane, Oscar Charles, Dan Couch and Jonathan Sherwood, out now. Along with the track, Shane has shared a video featuring a cameo by John Carter Cash.

Shane is set to hit the road on The Damascus Acoustic Stories Tour, a 10-stop intimate tour starting on 2/1/24 in Louisville, KY.
