Mike Shaw’s talents have been honed over five decades of performing, dating back to the 1960s as a folk singer at Kansas City’s revered Vanguard Coffee House. As did many musicians of that genre, Mike graduated to folk-rock music, a format that spawned the singer-songwriters and the music that dominated the next two decades and remains among the most popular and appreciated of American music. In New Orleans through the 1970s and ‘80s, he made the transition to jazz and worked with some of that city’s most admired players, including those in Metropolis, his jazz funk band that became one of the city’s most popular and respected bands of the time. He performs today at Atlanta jazz venues and night clubs, as well as for special events, most recently completing a four-year run in the rotation at the Ritz Carlton Buckhead, the city’s longest running live music venue.
Mike’s repertoire is a mix of the music that has shaped his artistry and career: adaptations of such standards as Ellington’s Do Nothin’ Till You Hear From Me, Johnny Mercer’s One For My Baby and the oft-recorded, haunting Nature Boy; and arrangements of some of the best songs from the favorite artists of the singer-songwriter era, including Elton John, Billy Joel, Leon Russell, Randy Newman, the Eagles and Beatles.
