Shane Ghostkeeper

About

Shane Ghostkeeper is a musician from Calgary, Alberta. He is most recognized for his songwriting, singing and guitar playing in the band Ghostkeeper. Shane spent his childhood and adolescence years isolated by Northern Alberta's geography (High Level, Rocky Lane and Paddle Prairie Metis Settlement), listening to country music records and developing an admiration for individuals who had the ability to convey rich stories through song. Later he expanded his musical horizons beyond these roots, he found another world in the self-aware genres of art rock and experimental folk. Here, he developed his own storytelling language with which he could voice the traditional songwriting he grew up with. And now he comes full circle with years of education and experimentation to make his first Country music inspired record. This exploration of Country music is a dedication and tribute to his family and the stories they share.
