Biography

Hector Shaw, the Glasgow-born singer-songwriter, blends intimate, folk-inspired songwriting with powerful lyrics that explore themes of queerness and self-reflection. His music has earned praise from BBC Radio and Folk Radio UK, and his recent EP Fawns expands his sound with lush arrangements and soaring harmonies, which earned him a nomination for Best Acoustic at the Scottish Alternative Music Awards.

He has toured both the UK and Europe supporting the likes of Katie Gregson-Macleod, as well as other Scottish indie heavyweights like Jacob Alon and Lizzie Reid. He has played Cambridge Folk Festival, Celtic Connections and Belladrum's Tartan Heart.
