Formed in 2023, this Americana/Rock/Country band is a powerhouse collaboration between Platinum Recording Artist and Songwriter Michael Shynes, known for his impressive 300+ Million YouTube Views and over 100+ Million Streams, and Renowned Musician/Performer Tommy Vee, son of the legendary Bobby Vee, and recognized for his work with icons like Paul McCartney, Brian Setzer, and Chuck Berry. The Long Way Home’s mission is to revive the essence of authentic guitar-driven music in an era dominated by digital and AI influences. Rejecting the notion that technology is the sole future of creativity, they strive to demonstrate the irreplaceable value of the human touch in music. The band’s core also includes Tommy’s son, Bennett Vee, and more of the Twin Cities’ finest musicians.
