Shalaine Stebner is a singer/songwriter from Central Alberta! She takes her 

love  of 80’s/90’s/2000’s country music and infuses it into her writing to 

create roots based, heart first music! She loves being on stage! She has  performed all across Central Alberta, playing at halls, bars, cafes,  dances, Westerner Days, CFR, Casinos, patio parties, park parties, and  more! 

Her single, “Brenda”, made it to #2 on the Canadian Indie Country Countdown!

Shalaine  grew up watching her dad play in a band with his buddies, and that lit  the flame in her heart! The first time she was invited to play on stage  with his band when she was 6, she was hooked! She took every opportunity  available to get on stage with dance, musical theatre, choral, band,  etc. After she graduated high school, while music was in her heart, it  was not in the cards at that moment. She got her hairdressing license,  and music took the back burner.

No  matter what she did though, she still felt like she was missing  something! She inherited her grandpa’s old guitar, and in her mid 20’s  she taught herself how to play! She started playing with an “old fart”  band, a group of mostly retired musicians that played at seniors’ homes  and hospitals. They taught 

her so much about music, and gave her the  confidence to get up and play 

for herself! When 2020 came around, the  band dismembered, but that didn’t stop her! After her husband was laid  off and fell into a dark place, that 

inspired her to write her first  song, “As Strong As Your Daddy”.

It was a love song to her son  about men’s mental illness, and the response 

from friends, family, and  Facebook inspired her to keep writing! Now when 

she plays live, her  biggest fan, her dad, is usually behind her keeping the beat and taking a  little sass! It is such a special relationship and she is so proud of  it!
