David Shaw at 800 Congress
Acclaimed singer, songwriter, musician and producer David Shaw’s first-ever solo album (2022 via his imprint Yokoko Records in partnership with C3 Records) found The Revivalists front man and enigmatic talent following the direction of his own internal compass as a solo artist, riling up his raw rock ‘n’ roll impulses as he opened up like never before as a lyricist, poet, and storyteller. The journey of David’s solo artistry and self-titled album began as he placed a renewed focus on self-care and personal growth, using music as medicine and noticing something within himself that, as he says, he “needed to water.” Now with his debut under his belt Shaw looks to continue his solo sonic exploration as he looks at what is ahead.
