About
Sayer McShane is a fantastic blues-based rock show band. Their live show features hot guitar, grooving drums, powerful vocals, engaging humor and raw showmanship. They play a unique blend of rock, blues, Motown, funk, soul and pop. Some artists are great performers and some are great entertainers. Sayer McShane is both. Two people never made rockin' the house look this easy, sound so natural and so much fun.
Originally from Detroit, MI the band appeals to a diverse audience, always surprising people with their big sound featuring guitar, drums and rich, soulful vocals. Kristin Sayer “The Git-tar Player” sings lead, plays guitars, bass, keys, tenor sax, drums, writes, arranges and produces the music. Carolyn McShane “MC Shane” sings lead, harmony, plays drums, percussion, keys, guitars, records and engineers the music.
Sayer McShane are receiving radio airplay for their singles, What’s Up With That? and Fistful Of Water. They have since released a new single St. Patrick’s Day (Life Is Good) backed with I’m Going To The Show and Like The Rain. They have opened for acts like Edwin McCain, Buddy Guy and Robin Trower as well as played for the NHL Hockey All Star Game with 3 Doors Down and many others in Raleigh, NC. They were featured at the North Carolina State Fair and and were nominated for Detroit and Carolina Music Awards.
Along with their original material, Sayer McShane also performs an incredible variety of music to accommodate almost any audience whether it’s a wedding, corporate event, restaurant, night club or a private house concert in your living room. Shows can be performed with full drums and guitar or just two guitars for “acoustic” intimate settings. They always thrill crowds with their powerful yet sensual performances and entertain audiences with their fun, upbeat, interactive dialogue. Sayer McShane really put on an amazing show unlike anything you’ve seen before.

3 Nights of Music in Raleigh – Raleigh Music Dot Com - Neal D Bluesman
“Sayer McShane”... have you seen this act? I had read about them and wanted to see how they actually sound and if they can pull it off. They can! Kristin Sayer on guitar, bass, lead vocals and Carolyn McShane on drums, keyboards & vocals. The live show has Kristin on guitar & vocals and Carolyn on drums and vocals, the rest they prerecord. What you hear is a full band and they sound great. It's mostly covers, but the originals are great. I immediately bought their CD and it's very good.
I don't mean to sound sexist, but there are a lot of women out there who play... but really don't play that well, these 2 are not of that camp. Kristin's guitar work is searing, she really tears up some serious rocking lead work. Carolyn's drumming is rock solid and dead-on. The lead vocals are very strong and emotional; the harmonies are clear and strong and really fill it up. On top of that they look like they're really having a great time doing a great show and the positive energy grabs the crowd. Sick of seeing the same old thing? Check these guys out.

Brightleaf Square Concert Series - Sayer McShane

Yelp Review:
What/Why:
** NOTE: Rescheduled from Fri. 5/27 to Sat. 6/4 due to massive apocalyptic rain storm. **
Free concert series in Brightleaf! Lots of good restaurants around to sample before or (er, perhaps "and") after the show.
I don't know anything about most of the bands playing the rest of the summer, but the one on 5/27 -- Sayer McShane -- definitely rocks. It's possible I plan my drinking schedule around them.
