Shane was born into a musical family and introduced to the rock band KISS at age 3 by his cousin, and he knew at that point he was going to be a musician himself. He had his first taste of playing music in the 7th grade when he picked up the drums in music class and fell in love playing drums. It wasn't until he was about 19 years old that he jumped in and started practicing relentlessly on the drums and by the age of 21 started playing live in clubs with his first cover band . At the age of 22 he joined his first serious cover band Richter Scale which became very popular in the early to mid 90's where they played countless shows throughout Oregon. He played with Richter scale for about 6 years before deciding he needed to take a break for a while. When he turned 29 he moved to Spokane Washington and joined a shock rock band he played drums for for about 2 years he then stepped down from drums due to issues with his knees and was not able to play the way he was used to playing and at that time, he decided to pick up the guitar instead. He started up an original rock/ Metal band and at that point things really started changing for him, he developed a new love for performing. After going through about 3 different bands he finally had found the right group of musicians to make up the band he was hoping for, the band was named Invasive. Invasive became a force to be reckoned with in Washington state and Idaho opening for numerous touring bands like Queensryche, Drowning Pool, Raven, Jimmy Van Zant, and many others. His endeavor with Invasive went on for about 7 years when he decided to step down and again take a break to be more involved with his family life. At that time he joined another cover band called Ittz Cuzzen he was in this band for about 6 years and was also a sound engineer at this time as well. He quit playing and engineering sound in late 2020 to care for his wife who had been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. She lost her battle in March of 2022 he then decided to re join Ittz Cuzzen which dismantled about a year later. At that point he decided to make a big change and move back to Oregon. After being in oregon for about 3 months he joined his brothers band The Schown Slade Band on guitar, bass and background vocals it's been a long journey but he has found his home once again with music and family.
