not an Airplane was designed to continually capture the creative mind of Singer/Songwriter Nick Shattell and is a diverse musical experience that is always in motion.
"Armed with an acoustic guitar and his own distinctive vocals, Shattell’s music relates stories of heartbreak, sorrow and self-reflection." ~Sacramento News and Review
not an Airplane Band: not an Airplane has recently turned into an indie folk/rock trio led by Shattell on Guitar and Vocals, Dave Rogers on Drums, and Jared Neilson on the Bass. Shattell's lyrics shine through to get you thinking and singing along while you move to the beat, whether you feel like waltzing or raising the proverbial roof. With every note, every instrument, and every audience member shaping each moment, not an Airplane provides a unique musical experience centered around thoughtful lyrics, catchy melodies, and the feeling that you were not just born to rock, but instead were born already rocking.
not an Airplane Solo Acoustic: You can still catch Shattell performing live solo acoustic at certain shows, open mics, living rooms, porches and such. Shattell brings an intimate folk experience which packs the power of a five piece band but will have your ears buzzing with thought and insight into Shattell's world, as well as your own. After all, it is the same world...isn't it?
I was told that you were going to mail me flyers when you had them ready. I'm excited to play music with you guys and meet you all. I hope the tour is going really well. It's been hard on performers these days.
oh you know i can never get enough not an airplane, i sing it in my sleep at this point. yeah i know a few of the owners too, also i get free dinner so of course i'm going! see you there
So, you should do a show (or sing on someone's back porch or in an alleyway in sacramento or something) Jul 9th, 11th, or 12th... preferably not all the way in Fresno, just for me. Cause I'm special.
