Sunday Spotlight with Becky Shaw: Presented by Southbound Tequila 2026

Sunday Spotlight at The Bluebird Cafe is a weekly showcase for up-and-coming bands, offering a one-hour performance focused on individual acts rather than the traditional in-the-round format. This edition features Becky Shaw, a musician who has spent a lifetime refusing to be pinned down, armed with guitar, harmonica, drums, flute, accordion, lap steel, and more. She has been a long-time member of Atlanta’s vibrant music scene for 30 years, sharing stages with Indigo Girls, Suzy Bogguss, Caroline Herring, Michelle Malone, and Shawn Mullins.

Becky Shaw’s solo singer-songwriter work is intimate, powerful, and achingly honest, reflecting her gifts as a poet, wordsmith, and vocalist. She has performed at legendary venues including The Bluebird Café in Nashville, New York’s CBGB’s and the Bitter End, Eddie’s Attic, and The National in Richmond. Whether commanding a storied stage or a living room house concert, Shaw brings a simple but profound motto to every performance: “Be the Song.”
