Ty Soileau

Ty Soileau, originally from Lake Charles, LA, started playing Bass at 11 years old. In 2020, after having the opportunity to play all over Louisiana, he decided to move to Nashville with a group of friends to further pursue his music career. Some of his biggest musical influences are Elton John and Eddie Van Halen.
"I'm a huge fan of all things music and horror. If I'm not on stage performing, I'm either at the gym, cooking, sleeping, or spending time with my friends. Sometimes I like to read. Other times, I like to watch Cops. I'm a simple guy."
Ty is currently on the road with Struggle Jennings and Jelly Roll but will be back soon! ♥️
Shayne McGuire
Drums
Hailing from Michigan, late 80s baby Shayne first picked up a pair of drum sticks in 2007 when video game company Harmonix released their game Rock Band. The game was similar to Guitar Hero, but this one let you play the drums - from that moment on, the drums became Shayne’s passion. Spending his younger years bouncing from college to college, major to major studying everything from video game design to music production, he knew there was only one thing that remained constant through all of that - drums. In 2016, Shayne decided that it was time to focus on his music career and joined a bar band in the local scene. The next two years were spent playing shows at venues all over the Detroit area which included weddings and the largest St. Patrick’s Day party in the area. In 2019, the move to Nashville was made and this is where Shayne currently resides playing the drums full time.
