Skip Shaffer's music is classic melodic hard rock reborn. Tesla soul, Skid Row bite, Black Sabbath riffs, Mötley Crüe sleaze, and Aerosmith versatility — all slammed into razor-sharp 2025 production.
Skip Shaffer is a Pittsburgh-born, road-hardened songwriter who writes the kind of songs you can crank up with the windows down, or sit back and reflect how the story fits your own life.
Armed with guitars and lyric content that rival late-night confessions and life tales, Skip delivers raw cinematic stories of love won, love lost, and the open road that waits in between.
From the heartfelt professing of “You’re The One” to the defiant swagger of “I Own The Road” and new tracks like the soon-to-be-released wedding-ready anthem “Welcome to the Family” proves Skip can write the moments people want to remember forever, then turn around and write the ones they’re trying to outrun.
