I entered a video the NPR Tiny Desk Contest, and I'd like to share it with you!

I created Know Just What To Say while sitting on the floor in a Brooklyn studio while experimenting with my RC-30 Looper, and it is the first song I've ever performed live in which I made myself put down the instruments I usually rely on and only use my voice. The song is about creating space for my own choices, ideas and voice instead of relying on the direction of others. That's a lesson that's a tough but important one to learn and one I'm still learning! 

Leah Shaw's latest EP 'Home' is now available online, featuring the 2014 Our State NC Magazine Song of the Year, 'Carolina I'm Home' as well as the tune featured in her latest music video release 'Up in New York City'. Inspired by the journey to find home in a set of ever-changing circumstances, Leah's intimate, energy-infused vocals blend soulful melodies with folk instrumentation and an alt-rock edge.

The album is distributed on iTunes, Amazon, Spotify, Rdio and more.

This morning, Leah Shaw released her Spring single 'Countdown'. Optimistic and romantic and a little bit country, the song features Brendan Hackett​ on vocals, Daniel Seriff​ on electric guitar and bass and Jonathan Green on drumset. Tracking was done by Philip Weinrobe​ in Manhattan and by Daniel A Seriff who also mixed and produced the song​ at his studio in Winston-Salem NC. 

Stream or download here: iTunes // Amazon // Spotify 

Please enjoy!

The video views keep climbing, and I'm excited to see what the other entrants submit for the competition, which is available on a Tumblr blog. I hope to make my way onto the blog. Please follow along with the competition!

The video was shot by Shane G Mahon and vocals and percussion were provided by the incredibly talented Aviva Jaye.

What a great fall! My original tune 'Carolina I'm Home' was chosen as the winner of the Our State NC Singer Songwriter 2014 Competition Winner. I had the chance to visit Raleigh, NC on a VIP pass to the International Bluegrass Music Association Festival which moved this year to Raleigh for the first time. I heard some musical heroes and some awesome up and coming musicians, and had a chance to perform my winning tune at Deep South the Bar.

I'm excited to announce that my latest single "Growing" will be on the Kate Plus 8 hour special airing this Thursday, 6/26 at 10pm on TLC. You can also preview and buy it NOW on iTunes or Amazon!

I've been working on lots of new music up in New York. I finally got a chance to do some recording and have just released this brand new single for you to check out!

Very excited to be back in the studio working on some new tunes!  Stay tuned for more...

Leah won the Eddie Owen Presents Open Mic Shootout #3! She performed against 22 other songwriters and won.  Her final performance of the night earned her the 1st place prize! 

Touring through the Southeast - check out my dates page!    Check out my soundcloud page for the a few new tunes I've been working on...I'm going to be playing them on this tour - can't wait to see you all out there! 

We're so excited to announce that Leah's EP, I'm Just the Same is now available!  Each EP has been created using customized hand-stamps and durable ink to create a textured and unique, original product.  No one EP is exactly the same.  The cardboard sleeve was made in America from recycled materials.   Look to the right to order a hard copy via PayPal, or you can buy it digitally on iTunes and Amazon.com. 

The I'm Just the Same EP-making supplies are here and we are so excited over here at Leah Shaw Music HQ. More info to come on the official release date. Follow Leah on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram to get more updates on this EP and some sneak peeks of the songs!  

Last night, I decided to warm up for my set at The Chipped Cup in the subway. Armed with some good friends and a warm hat, I gave Just The Same a practice run. I'm pumped about this song - it will be released on the forthcoming EP. Release date TBA!

So today, I've been working on one of my favorite new songs called "I Went to War" and I'm working with a friend of mine.  Here's a little peek of us recording the vocals for this track.

My friend Daniel is in the studio with me today, recording Brooklyn and playing some fantastic slide guitar - check out his solo moment!  I am loving the recording process!  

So excited that this is happening!  Stay tuned for more about when you can get some of my songs! 

Check out my newest video from a recent performance at Raylen winery. I wrote this one night while riding the subway and thinking about my recent move to Brooklyn. It was the first song I wrote in New York.  And yes, those are definitely band-aids holding up my dress straps!
