Once Aldean was signed, Shoenfeld stayed on to develop the superstar’s muscular sound and provided the chugging, down-and-dirty guitar on Aldean’s debut single “Hicktown,” which went on to become a Top 10 hit and earn platinum sales status. He toured with the group from 2005-20.Īround the same time Big & Rich was getting started, Shoenfeld became member of Jason Aldean’s showcase band hoping to score the rock-loving Georgia native a record deal.

With the formation of Big & Rich in 2003, Shoenfeld was invited to play guitar on the duo’s debut album, Horse of a Different Color, including the multi-platinum single “Save a Horse (Ride aCowboy).” The song ditched familiar country sounds in favor of Shoenfeld’s brash, live-oriented feel, and helped open the floodgates in country’s new era of crossover success. There he met “Big Kenny” Alphin and later John Rich, going onto became a member of the infamous music-and-art collective known as the Muzik Mafia andRich’s go-to studio guitarist, laying down demos for soon-to-be groundbreaking songs likeGretchen Wilson’s “Redneck Woman.” With the crunchy, loud and proud opening notes of his lead guitar on Big & Rich’s “Save aHorse (Ride a Cowboy),” and the edgy, aggressive tone heard on Jason Aldean’s breakout smash “Hicktown,” Shoenfeld blazed a trail for a wave of hard-rock influenced country that changed the genre forever-and he hasn’t looked back since.īorn in Huntington, New York, and raised in New Jersey with a love of jazz, blues, rock and heavy metal, Shoenfeld came to Nashville at the age of 19 and began working as an in-house musician at Woodland Studios.
