Rarely does one find a rock band that displays as much authenticity and honest emotion as Old Man Shattered. Old Man Shattered, formed in Albuquerque in 1997, has accomplished more than the average local garage band.

OMS`s debut album, In Light of Who You Are, independently released, was nominated in four categories at the NMMIA Awards, held annually in New Mexico; Best Religious Song, Best Mainstream Song, Best Album of the Year, and Best Song of the Year. While they only took home one award (Best Religious Song), they were nominated alongside artists who had been in the industry upwards of 20 years. Their debut album also spawned four radio releases including Mr. Prodigal, which went .1, and Surrender, which peaked at .3 on Massive Radio, a nationally broadcast CHR station. As a result, Be Magnified, which Meyers wrote in memory of Columbine High School Shooting victim Cassie Bernall, OMS is listed on a memorial plaque which hangs inside the high school, and the song was played at the one year memorial of the shooting. Quite an accomplishment with a debut, indie release. OMS has shared the stage with Shinedown, Crossfade, RED, Decyfer Down, Moth, Fivespeed, Skillet, Strata, The Exies, Jessica Simpson, Delirious, Sonic Flood, Plumb, All Star United, The Waiting, Every Day Sunday, Kids in the Way, Hawk Nelson, Run Kid Run, and The David Crowder band, among others.
