Shane Barnard

Shane Barnard born January 14, 1976 is a christian praise and worship singer-songwriter. He is known mostly for his work with Shane Everett as Shane & Shane. Barnard was born in Placerville, California and attended Texas A&M University, where he led worship at the popular Christian student gathering Breakaway, and where he met Everett. Barnard is also known for his unique form of strumming the acoustic guitar and his very high vocal range. During his junior year as a student at Texas A&M University, Barnard began a recording career. Prior to joining Everett, Barnard teamed up with friend Caleb Carruth to release an album. Entitled "Salvation Still Remains", it was released in limited numbers. Barnard and Carruth were rumored to have recorded the album in only two days due to the fact they had to pay for studio time themselves and wanting to make the most of it. Family and friends brought them sandwiches and drinks through out the process. Barnard and Carruth later agreed to end their partnership amicably, stating "they were just moving in different directions". Shane is married to fellow ccm artist Bethany Dillon.
