Born in a small town in south central Oklahoma and raised by a family of cowboys and truckers, Shane Wyatt was naturally drawn to country music from an early age. At age 10, Shane started playing fiddle – taking lessons from the legendary Benny Kubiak. By his mid teens he was playing in local bands, first with other teenagers, and later with more experienced musicians (often, they would have to sneak the under-age fiddle player in the back door).
