Musical Mastery Unleashed: Shane Rennison's 'Live at the Outlier Inn' EP

Shane Rennison, the American singer-songwriter, made a notable entrance into my musical radar earlier this year with his EP, "Nice To Meet You." As the year draws to a close, it's fitting that he takes the spotlight again with his latest release, "Live at the Outlier Inn," a collection of three live tracks. Recorded at the Outlier Inn, a music studio in Mountaindale, New York, Shane and his band showcase a different dimension of his sound, temporarily setting aside his solo project to explore pop-rock influences. This captivating live EP, captured with his band in May 2023, not only captures the genuine and soulful essence of Rennison's musical expression but also marks a significant evolution in his artistic journey, shifting from a solo performer to a dynamic force in the realms of indie pop and pop-rock.

With a repertoire that spans diverse covers and emotive original compositions, Rennison curates a musical experience that resonates with profound heart and soul.

His live shows serve as a pure testament to his versatility and the authentic bond he shares with his audience.
