8.15.2025 NASHVILLE: Singer/songwriter Shane Weisman returns with “Wonder” - a moody, achingly honest new single out today via Too Fine Records. The track serves as the latest preview of his forthcoming self-produced debut album Better Luck Tomorrow, arriving in early 2026.
A Nashville-based indie folk-rock artist originally from Columbus, Ohio, Weisman has built a reputation for writing sharp, emotionally tangled songs about what it means to be alive right now - disoriented, self-aware, and still hoping for something beautiful. Raised on the sounds of Bruce Springsteen, Tom Petty, Bob Dylan, and Wilco, he’s developed a raw, heartfelt style that blends Americana grit with introspective storytelling, anchored by organic sounds and timeless melodies.
On “Wonder,” Weisman taps into the kind of emotional transparency that defines his work. “This is a story about a wife walking in on her husband during one of his darkest moments. And this is that conversation,” he explains. While fictional in plot, the track’s emotional core comes from personal truth. “I come from a long line of depression, and unfortunately, it takes hold of me some days. Not quite as low and dark as the character I created for Wonder, but low enough to tap in with an honest perspective. My way of getting through it is to write and record a song. Wonder is a product of that.”
The song is part of Better Luck Tomorrow - a forthcoming concept album, produced entirely by Weisman, that he describes as “about everything falling apart - and what comes after.” With Better Luck Tomorrow, Weisman isn’t just releasing an album - he’s making a statement. “My goal is to give my audience an album that’s actually crafted by the artist,” he says. “I didn’t sit in a room with five people trying to screw in a lightbulb. I want to revive real albums created by real artists. Let’s be real - would we buy a Picasso if he said, ‘Hey, this is a painting I made with a few of my friends’? Absolutely not.”
That uncompromising ethos runs through “Wonder.” While the plot is fictional, the emotion is raw and immediate, channeling the kind of urgency that comes when the only way out is to create.
In addition to his own work, Weisman has produced for other artists - including Gabe Baker’s award-winning Twelve Out Of Ten - but Better Luck Tomorrow is the sound of him fully stepping into his own voice. Real, poetic, and unafraid, it’s the kind of record built to resonate long after the last note fades.
