“I have always had a passion for skating,” shares Shaw. “If I wasn’t pushing a skateboard around or playing guitar as a 14-year-old, I was in my skates, and over this past year I had a lot more time on my mind so I got the itch to get back into it. As I was doing so, it really reinvigorated my love for the art. One day while I was having a skate down by the river I ran into an old friend, Bobby Bonsey, who had happened to be skating out there as well. We struck up a conversation and that’s what planted the seed for the video.”
In addition to releasing the “Got Me Feeling Good” music video, Shaw has announced a series of livestream performances via Mandolin. The upcoming shows – taking place every Friday at 9pm ET – will kick off May 7th from Chicago’s legendary venue The Metro to celebrate the release of David Shaw. The May 14th show will stream from Marigny Opera House in New Orleans, LA and then, on May 21st, Shaw returns to his hometown of Hamilton, OH for the 10th anniversary of RiversEdge, which will include a limited in-person audience. The final string of shows will stream from a secret location in New Orleans on May 28th before concluding where it started on June 4th. Full list of upcoming performances below.
