Shane Almgren

Shane Almgren was born in the wrong century. He should be a pirate on a ship that doesn’t rape and pillage, but instead sails the high seas throwing 24-hour raves in the middle of the ocean. (Arggh, matey, might I borrow thy glow sticks?) He founded Shane Almgren MultiMedia & Entertainment in 2010, and has been labeled a "creative Swiss-army knife." He's a freelance writer, an award-winning graphic designer, a professional pianist and keyboardist, ASCAP songwriter, music producer, dj, voice over artist, podcast host, business consultant, fashion designer, actor, comedian and entertainer in Nashville, TN. On top of all that, he's an endless purveyor of nonsense and practical jokes with a propensity for incarceration. He would very much like to be your best friend. When he’s not writing jokes, recording music, designing clothing, making furniture, building websites, hosting podcasts, studying chess, breaking his neck in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, or setting off the smoke alarm on his 40th failed attempt to properly sear a tuna steak, he can be found on Facebook arguing with strangers and accusing people of political hackery. He lives in Nashville, Tn with his wife Amy, daughter Sahara, and the fiercest pack of guard dogs in North America: Finn the Chihuahua, Ollie the Shih Tzu, and Se7en the White German Shepherd. That fearsome trio, without question, is the only thing standing between your liberty and a Vladimir Putin invasion of middle Tennessee. They also have a pet frog named Freddy who shows up on the back patio every spring. But it’s possible it’s not the same frog every year. Shane has also been banned for life from the Nashville zoo, but that is a story for another day. You can find him at www.shanealmgren.com
