Born on the bayou of Louisiana and raised in Minnesota, Shane landed in Wisconsin with a guitar and a dream.
In July 2025, he launched The Eau Claire Guitar Academy — voted the number one music lesson studio in the Chippewa Valley in 2025 by Volume One in its first year of operation.
But Shane isn’t just a teacher. He’s a fixture of Eau Claire’s live music scene. A weekly regular at the Lakely. A man who befriended every local musician he met and jammed with them simply for the love of it. His influences run from Bob Dylan to Pink Floyd to Led Zeppelin, and his sound — a fusion of folk, existential, and romantic rock — belongs to no one but him. Over 70 original songs on Spotify and counting.
Many of those musicians he’s befriended over the years will join him on stage. Bob Wynkoop on mandolin, Jim Nelson on bass and John Utphall on violin and keys, just to name a few.
This is Shane’s music. Original. Unboxed. Uncategorizable.
He doesn’t fit a mold. He makes his own.

Joe Thielen performs in a handful of bands in the Chippewa Valley, including Yam Cannon, Hey Joe, Grodge, and the Sliced Bread Jug Band. In addition to these efforts, He also recently completed an album of solo material at Philville Records, accompanied by members of the Driftless Revelers, and is plotting a release in 2026.

Thielen also enjoys writing and performing acoustic music on patios, porches, living rooms and dank basements. Joe’s original music is an odd combination of Woody Guthrie, The Kinks, The Grateful Dead, The Cure, Boston, and The Velvet Underground, with lyrics sprung from a mind that enjoys meandering through strange spaces. Many people have reported “having a nice time*” or “having fun*” when seeing Joe play music. You and your friends might have a nice time, too.
