Saenz spent the better part of the last fifteen years as a professional musician and songwriter in Nashville, penning songs that have been recorded by Lee Ann Womack, Miranda Lambert, Aubrie Sellers and Jim Lauderdale, to name a few. During that time, he released three folk/country-rock leaning solo albums (2005’s Watertown, 2008’s Bucket, 2013’s Studebaker) all with a touch of influence from his Texas musical heroes, where he spent much of his childhood.

Throughout the recording of All My Shame, Saenz was on a mission to create an album unlike his previous work. His goal was fully realized as evidenced throughout the 11 new songs. Album opener “The Deep End” sets a tone with a pulsating beat and fierce guitar soundscape, while “The More I Need” infuses tribal rhythms with subtle vocal harmonies. The pensive “Cautionary Tale” offers warm and sincere words of wisdom to those seeking life as an artist. Haunting and beautiful, “As I Watch You Slowly Drift Away” is a heartbreaking tale of a love slowly fading away. The biggest surprise on All My Shame is Saenz’s contemplative take on the late Ronnie James Dio’s pop-metal classic ‘Rainbow In The Dark” to close out the album.

All My Shame is Mando Saenz’s influences, experiences, challenges, wisdom gained and new vision coming together. It is not a new identity but a natural progression in an artist’s evolution, with one foot firming planted in who he is while the other takes a confident step forward.
