PromiseLab‏

PromiseLab was born out of a shared vision between Shayne Hudson (vocals, guitar) and Larry Rohleder (drums). As roommates in an East Baltimore row house, Shayne, a singer-songwriter and blues devotee, recorded songs in the basement of their building, aka “the lab,” while Larry, more rock oriented, as well as a sucker for a good pop song, plotted the formation of his own label, which would become TbN AUDiO. “The stuff coming out of the basement was just great, even in its primitive form. I thought I’d start a label, sign Shayne, and build a band around his material,” Larry recalls. But the two found that finding the right players was a bigger challenge than making the music. “We had more difficulty than anticipated in finding people who not only shared the vision, but were without circumstances (baggage/commitment issues),” said Shayne.
