Cajun-rooted, jazz-blues fiddler

Friday, Aug. 21 – 7 p.m.
Outdoor Concert & Family Arts Festival – 6 p.m.

New Orleans-based singer, songwriter, fiddler and actress Amanda Shaw is poised on the precipice
of international stardom.

At just 18 years old, Shaw has a sublime energy
and vitality that’s refreshing and fun. Among her many accomplishments, Shaw recently released
her album Pretty Runs Out, and starred in the 2006 IMA X film Hurricane on the Bayou. She has also drawn record-breaking crowds at the illustrious
New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival.

Although a classically trained violinist, Shaw has
a Creole flavor and pop-influenced style that’s all
her own.
