Canadian born artist Shane Yellowbird is celebrating the Oct. 18 release of his U.S. debut, appropriately titled It’s About Time.
Distributed through On Ramp Records, It’s About Time includes Yellowbird’s debut U.S. single “Bare Feet on the Blacktop,” written by Ashley Gorley and Frank Rogers. The song’s video, which has amassed over 150,000 views on YouTube, is also included.
Yellowbird’s previous album, Life Is Calling My Name, produced four Top 10 Billboard singles in Canada: “They’re All About You,” “Pick Up Truck,” “I Remember The Music” and “Drive Me Home.” The success of those singles earned him the Rising Star of the Year award at the Canadian Country Music Awards.
Raised on an Indian reservation in Alberta, Yellowbird grew up on the rodeo circuit and learned the cowboy lifestyle. He took up singing as a way to combat a stuttering problem, and his musical career was launched.
