Career

edit

Tutmarc is the great-grandson of Paul Tutmarc, who has been credited as the inventor of the electric bass.[1] His grandfather, Bud Tutmarc, was a well-known Hawaiian steel guitar player.

Tutmarc was the leader of Seattle band Dolour from 1997 to 2007. He has played in several other bands, including United State of Electronica and Shane Tutmarc & The Traveling Mercies. In June 2009, Tutmarc released his first solo album, Shouting at a Silent Sky. In January 2010, he re-located to Nashville, Tennessee.[2] Several of his songs have been featured on television programs and films.[3][4] In 2016, Tutmarc began a new project called Solar Twin.[5][6]

Tutmarc has produced and played instruments on other artists' albums, including Ian McGlynn's "Tomorrow's Taken" (2004), Sameer Shukla's "There's Only One Side Tonight" (2005), Patrick Kinsley's "Rattling the Cage" (2014), Tanya Montana Coe's "Silver Bullet" (2015) and "Hide Your Emotion" (2019), and both of The Explorers Club's 2020 full-length releases.
