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.

Last August, she released Lightswitch, which WXPN praised as “...emotional stuff at its core — Shaw's songs are about love and heartache, yearning and connection, self-identity, and soft rage. It's full of lyrical wit, like the moment in ‘Lightswitch’ where she sings that she wants to run her car keys along an ex's mom's minivan.”
