ROTM: Shane Profitt’s Rural Roots & Radio Rise
Wednesday, 25 February, 2026
In this episode, we sit down with Shane Profitt to talk about the journey from small-town Tennessee to the country music spotlight. Growing up in rural Maury County, Shane shares how life on backroads, blue-collar values, and tight-knit community shaped not only who he is—but the songs he writes. We dive into his early days playing local gigs, the grind it took to get noticed, and what it feels like to hear your own music spinning on the radio. Shane opens up about the real stories behind his lyrics, the influence of his rural roots, and why staying authentic matters more than ever in today’s country scene.
