New Orleans's Shaw not only possesses a vocal confidence belying her years, she's also got a dry wit usually only found on grizzled scene vets. The young woman makes snarkiness fun instead of bitter (no small feat), further livening it all with sturdy melodies and sweeping heartland fiddle.
New Orleans-based fiddler and singer Amanda Shaw brings dazzling new energy to roots-based Louisiana music. Working with material that ranges from traditional fiddle tunes to new originals that embrace both country and rock influences, Amanda and her band, The Cute Guys, create a sound and an attitude that are both authentic and bold.
