Kennedy Shaw made her mark on the New Jersey and Philadelphia music scenes in her late teens. Over the years, her sound has evolved into something more layered, emotionally rich, and lyrically refined— blending dreamy vocals with sharp lyrical wit. Fans of alternative country and indie folk artists like Adrianne Lenker and Haley Heynderickx, as well as pop visionaries like Mitski and Faye Webster, will find a lot to love in Shaw’s music.

This August she released her EP With Love, From NJ, which Setlist Kitchen praised as “Laced with ‘90s-inspired soundscapes and a soft rage… Shaw sings with the confidence and depth of someone well beyond her years.”
