Modern troubadors Shane Cooley and Lori Ellen live for their next song. Both artists have established themselves over the years as avid songwriters and compelling performers. Lori and Shane first crossed paths at Utopiafest in the Texas Hill Country, during a song circle that took place after one of Shane’s traditional sunrise sets. Instantly impressed with each other’s songwriting, they became fast friends in the Austin music scene, where they would often sit in on each other’s performances. In 2022, Shane engineered Lori's haunting single, "Ghost," while Lori lended harmonies to Shane's latest EP, "The Circus Rolls On." After turning heads performing an acoustic duo set at Old Settlers Music Festival, Lori and Shane decided to join forces on the road, touring behind their beloved music.
