" Frederick News Post- 72 Hours Dickson Mercer "Singer/Songwriter Shane Gamble's latest CD Behind The Blue, is a breathe of fresh air with it's organic sounding, heartfelt lyrics that are laid down with tasteful solid drum tracks provided by Matt Johnson and Michael Dawson. - Billy Amendola Modern Drummer Magazine "After the first two tracks on Shane Gamble's CD "Behind the Blue", I warned my girlfriend that she would be hearing it with regularity. From the faraway pedal steel on opener "Wait" to the urgency of "Simple Life" and the vivid scenes illustrated on "Village Train", Gamble and his band evoke a world both distinctive and faintly familiar. "Behind the Blue" exhibits the eclecticism of Austin, Texas and elements of Nashville's venerable tradition ("Already" and "White Fence" respectively).

While in college at Salisbury State University in Salisbury MD., Route 50 led right to his house, and that’s exactly where he started his own record label. “I lived in a house on the exit ramp” said Gamble, founder of Rt.50 Music and creator of albums “Behind the Blue” (2005) and Talk About (2002).

Gamble pens the lyrics to adult alternative tunes, and then works through the musical arrangements by blending in aspects of rock, jazz and pop. When it comes to recording and playing live gigs the singer/songwriter label exec calls on his stable of talented musician friends to help him out- as much as he can, given his affinity for live performance, especially in the clubs where he’s gained a strong fan base. “There are a ton of venues to play if you’re not afraid to put yourself out there” Gamble said.
