Matt Mann and The Shine Runners are an American rock/blues band formed in Los Angeles in November 2012 by the songwriter and Oklahoma native, Matt Mann. They released their first album Modern Day Outlaw in mid-2012 and their second album Southern States to the West Coast in 2013. With influences ranging from the Rolling Stones, Skynryd, ZZ Top, Willie Nelson and Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, Matt Mann and The Shine Runners deliver their brand of raucous and memorable blues-rock music to enthusiastic crowds. Their bluesy, boozy, two guitar rock sounds, transports listeners back into the early seventies, making their music timeless. Matt's unique style of singing gives the band an authentic sound and sets them apart from other mainstream rock n' roll bands.

The Shine Runners are fellow Oklahomans Drew Nichols on lead guitar, Josh Curtis on bass and Washington state native Ben Loshin on the drums. Adam McDougall from the legendary band The Black Crowes can be heard on both records playing B3 organ and upright piano. They have recently licensed the song Grand Lake Blues from the first album in the feature film "Pawn Shop Chronicles" starring Paul Walker, Matt Dillion, Vincent D'Onofrio, Brendan Fraser, and Elijah Wood.
