A former professional soccer player, DANE SHARP’s knee was shattered along with his dreams. However, in a life changing moment, a friend gave him an old guitar for comfort and he was soon busking and playing backyard parties. From there it was a natural progression to playing restaurants, bars, touring out west, and playing in a duo Country Bound, honing his Country rhythms.

In January, Dane played a series of shows in Nashville and worked with some of country music’s leading songwriters and musicians, such as Luann Reid (KENNY CHESNEY) and Brett Manning (KEITH URBAN).

Signed to independent label Touchwood Productions, Dane is working with award-winning producer Duncan Wood on his forthcoming album, due for release in early 2007. The first single, Nothing to Lose, is sure to whet the appetites of all who hear it.
