Hector Shaw
Bio
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.
Hector has toured with Roddy Woomble (Idlewild), supported Scottish indie favourites like Katie Gregson-Macleod, Lizzie Reid and Jacob Alon, and played the likes of Cambridge Folk Festival, Celtic Connections and Belladrum’s Tartan Heart.
