Shane Bucci is a classical and electric guitarist who can’t be pigeonholed into one style or genre. Shane bucks trends and defies expectations when choosing a program, and he often provides audiences with a mix of hidden gems, forgotten favorites, and well-known standards. 

Coming from the small town of Otego, NY, Shane was one of the only people to pursue music academically or professionally in his area. Currently, Shane lives in Bloomington, IN, where he attends the Jacobs School of Music for a Doctor of Music degree in guitar performance, history, and literature. During his Masters degree in Clarksville, TN studying with Dr. Stanley Yates, Shane won first prize in both the APSU Concerto Competition as well as the Beethoven Club guitar competition. More recently, Shane has been a finalist or semifinalist in several competitions including the Southern Guitar Festival and Appalachian State Guitar Festival.

When Shane is not practicing, performing, or competing, he enjoys spending time training and exploring with his 4-year-old Australian Shepherd, Thor.
