Lochness Monster

Lochness Monster is an Alternative Rock band from South Florida. The band consists of Bruce Donaldson (Singer), Justin Shaner (Guitar), Federico Carradini (Bass), and Rene Rivera (Drums).


Justin Shaner formed Lochness Monster in 2015 and in 2016 their debut album “Fables” was released. The album was recorded by gold record producer James Paul Wisner who also worked with bands, such as, Dashboard Confessional, Paramore, and Underoath. The album received radio play and it peaked at #16 on the CMJ (College Music Journal) charts, remaining on the charts for several months.


In 2018 the band re-entered the studio with Wisner to work on their self-titled EP and the band released a music video for “Calling Out” and “Farewell Past” off the EP. The single “Defiance” played on the “Launch Pad Live Top 20 Countdown” and charted in the top 5 for over 3 months. Lochness Monster was awarded Best Rock Band at the 2019 Oski Awards in Miami, FL and was chosen to play at one of Florida’s largest music festivals, SunFest, with One Republic and Keith Urban headlining. In 2020 Lochness Monster was planning to play Rock in Roma, an international rock festival, but the festival was delayed due to the pandemic. The band stays very active in the live music scene, especially across South Florida, and can be seen playing live throughout the year.
