Bio
As a recovering opera singer, Sadie Shaw always knew she would grow up to be a singer. She began singing as soon as she could speak, pretending to accompany herself on the guitar at the tender age of five. Sadie grew up in the small town of Eureka, CA, in a big family, who exposed her to many styles of music from traditional country to classic rock.
Sadie's musical tastes broadened further when she was selected to be a soloist in her high school jazz ensemble and later, when she fell in love with opera while attending Humboldt State University majoring in music with voice emphasis. After college, she moved to the Bay Area to continue her classical studies. During this time, she rediscovered country music with a Dwight Yoakam, the Dixie Chicks and Patty Loveless. Soon she heard the Louvin Brothers, Jim Lauderdale, Ralph Stanley, and after hearing The Del McCoury Band at Grass Valley, Sadie decided to pursue a career in bluegrass music.
Sadie moved to Nashville in February, 2008 and quickly immersed herself in the bluegrass scene.
Her first recording LITTLE MAGGIE MAE has this review:
"On this auspicious debut, Sadie Shaw shows us an authentic and expressive bluegrass voice, a songwriting talent, a mature understanding of the genre and who she is. I am proud to have been a part of it." ~ Kathy Chiavola
