Shane and his band, are getting rave revues at every venue they play.....
Silicon Valley Metro's Marianne Messina quotes, "... In spite of 'old' influences, Shane Dwight is anything but dated ... Dwight hops up crowds wandering in from both hip-hop and rock clubs ... He's been known to incite the girls to crazy-wild behavior."
Monterey's Coast Weekly's Chuck Thurman says, "This guy's on fire."
Santa Cruz Good Times Bruce Willey says. "Early exposure (to the Blues) combined with an intense commitment has made Dwight one of the most sought after blues players... The blues powerhouse lays down a blistering guitar spell that binds with his sturdy smoky voice."
Monterey County Heralds Mac McDonald says, "Dwight, who comes off as a younger Tommy Castro with his rockin' blues, charismatic stage presence and crowd-pleasing repertoire, won both the judge' top prize as well as audience approval (at Monterey Bay Blues Festival's Inaugural Battle of the Bands)."
The catalyst of Shane's growing popularity and fan base has been the unforeseen development of his soulful, country-tinged vocals and charismatic stage persona.
