SHANE COOLEY
-play 'River Road'-
RAPPAHANNOCK EP is out now on all digital music platforms! This is s collaborative effort with Adrian H. Z. Kunzmann and Fritz Ferrato, with guest vocals by Lori Ellen Music on track 5.
Everything about this collection of tunes came about in such a genuine manner. From meeting my friend Adrian on a plane 14 years ago, to a magical week of cowriting and recording at Cooleyland with Adrian and his brother Fritz, to sitting here in #FrankfurtGermany getting ready for our release show at Frankfurt Art Bar ..it’s been a journey!
The six songs on this EP - a combo of our own tunes and collaborations - they all draw inspiration from the river that I call home. ❤️
Produced and mixed by yours truly
Mastered by Fred Kevorkian in NYC. Give it a listen!

GERMANY TOUR:
November 11-16, 2025
ABOUT THE TOUR & MUSIC!
The Rappahannock EP is an organic collaboration with Adrian H.Z. Kunzmann (Berlin, Germany) and Fritz Ferrato (Munich, Germany). Over the few days we had holed up in my studio we churned out six tracks - some co-written, some obscure songs from our catalogue, and others penned on the spot. "Bring It Home" releases as a single on October 24 via all digital platforms, followed by the full EP - Rappahannock - on November 11. I met Adrian by chance on a plane over a decade ago, and this EP feels like the meaningful result of a cross-Atlantic friendship well spent. Stay tuned for this new music! Recorded, mixed and produced by Cooleyland Recording (Mollusk, VA) - mastered by Kevorkian Mastering (Brooklyn, NY).

SVENGOOLIE AUDITION
I am beyond thrilled that my audition tape for "Spawn of Svengoolie" was aired on Svengoolie via MeTV national television. The audition tape features a "Sven-dition" of my song "Dracula," and was followed by the audition tape of original Lost in Space "Will Robinson" actor Bill Mumy!! Pretty darn neat..thanks Sven!
