Shane Parish

Athens, Georgia-based guitarist Shane Parish devotes much of his time to developing his singular and expressive musicianship. He is a self-taught player who communicates through emotion, unexpected melodicism, technical whimsy, a nuanced sense of form, and rich timbral variety, simultaneously drawing from the guitar’s history and aiming for its future. He plays solo guitar, as a member of the Bill Orcutt Guitar Quartet, and with his avant-rock band Ahleuchatistas. Over the years, he has released albums on such esteemed labels as Tzadik Records, Palilalia Records, Cuneiform Records, and International Anthem.
