U+N Booking & Songbyrd Present Shannon Shaw Band w/ Georgia Maq \*\*\* Powerhouse singer and bassist Shannon Shaw released her acclaimed solo debut, Shannon in Nashville, in 2018 on Easy Eye Sound. Produced by Dan Auerbach, the album showcased Shaw’s soaring, soul-baring vocals through a cinematic blend of vintage pop, country soul, and heartbreak balladry. Since its release, Shaw has toured internationally in support of the album, including dates opening for John Prine and touring alongside Neko Case. She has also remained a constant presence onstage with her celebrated bands Shannon and the Clams and Hunx and His Punx. The album was hailed by numerous publications, with Pitchfork describing it as “a diamond” that “sounds like Roy Orbison and his musicians lost in the Brill Building.” \*\*\* Georgia Maq became something of a local hero as the leader of revered punk trio Camp Cope, calling out music industry sexism over fearsome indie rock salvos while garnering widespread international acclaim. In late 2019, Maq surprised everyone by releasing her solo debut, Pleaser, a refreshingly bright and catchy missive of electro-pop tunes about heartbreak and love. A suite of singles in 'Someone Stranger' with Alice Ivy, 'Joe Rogan', 'tropical lush ice' and live EP recorded at the Sydney Opera House showcase the breadth of her taste and range. Ever since, Georgia has chased a more genuine form of pop music in her solo career, a vision hat retains all of the glamour and universality but feels unburdened from capitalist underpinnings. Mining the evergreen themes of romantic, sexual and self-love, Georgia Maq’s solo venture was not so much a transformation as it was a revelation. Opening up on her vulnerabilities and heartbreaks, her continued evolution is far beyond the Greek girl from Naarm that first set fire to the rain. Presented by u+n booking All ages
