Becky Shaw
Becky Shaw is a musician who has spent a lifetime refusing to be pinned down. Armed with guitar, harmonica, drums, flute, accordion, lap steel, and more, she’s built a career on curiosity and craft and has been a long-time member of Atlanta’s vibrant music scene for 30 years. These days, she's diving into jazz standards with pianist Allen Broyles, still fronting the 70s cover powerhouse Susi French Connection (a gig she's held since 2000), and just finished out an 18-year run with Atlanta Americana band Roxie Watson/Just Roxie. But it's her solo singer-songwriter work—intimate, powerful, and achingly honest—that's now taking center stage. Over the past 30 years, Becky has shared stages with Indigo Girls, Suzy Bogguss, Caroline Herring, Michelle Malone, and Shawn Mullins. She was also a cast member in “Jesus Christ Superstar: A Resurrection,” featuring Amy Ray & Emily Saliers. She has performed at legendary venues including The Bluebird Café in Nashville, New York’s CBGB’s and the Bitter End, Eddie’s Attic, and The National in Richmond.
As a seasoned artist, Becky engages her audiences with wisdom and restraint. Her songs are happy and sad, lush and sparse, coalescing around her soulful voice and reflecting her gifts as a poet, wordsmith, and vocalist. Whether commanding a storied stage or a living room house concert, Shaw brings a simple but profound motto to every performance: “Be the Song.”
