Performing – Emily Alice Shaw

Sharing music through performance is one of the most rewarding aspects of being a musician. I have been performing for most of my life: I started playing guitar and piano at age 5 or 6. I enjoy the thrill of being on stage and relish the opportunity to share music that I have been working on and discovering for weeks/months/years.

In the next year, I will have the incredible opportunity to record and release my first solo CD with the support of the Ontario Arts Council. A release date will be announced in early 2019.
