April 22nd's Shindig is an embarrassment of riches: Shawn Williams and Kelcy Mae join hosts, Amanda and Keith, for a funky good time!

About Kelcy:
Kelcy Mae is a longtime New Orleans songwriter and frontwoman of the Americana outfit Ever More Nest, which just released its debut album, The Place That You Call Home, in October 2018. The album was named to Offbeat Magazine’s Top 50 Albums of 2018 and Ever More Nest was nominated for Best Country/Folk/Singer-Songwriter Artist & Album in the Best of the Beat Awards that year. The album’s songs center on the idea of place, from the fallen trees of “North Mississippi” to the infinite stars of “Major Tom.” Over the years, Kelcy Mae has come to be known for her emotive, authentic voice, delicate yet driving guitar work, and honest, observational songwriting that poses the universal question: “Just where do I belong?” According to Folk Radio UK, “The answer is clearly in any discerning Americana CD collection.” To listen and watch, visit EverMoreNest.com.

About Shawn:
New Orleans’ pioneering voice in “alt-rocka countrybilly serial killer blues,” Shawn Williams sounds like the result of a dirtier-minded Elvis deciding to get it on in the back of some roadhouse saloon with one of those sad-eyed cowboy types that would rather be drinking alone.

Her debut album Shadow (March 2017) is a skillfully-mastered collection of originals that moves seamlessly from old-school R&B-inflected rockers to softer, wistful numbers that evoke the broken-hearted melancholia of the desert. Idiosyncratic, catchy, and rich with local talent, the tracks showcase Williams’ impressive musicianship and unique capabilities as a songwriter. New Orleans' OffBeat Magazine says, "it's an impressively mature debut album".

Williams' sophomore release Motel Livin' (June 2018) "throbs with some of 2018's best-written songs," says Europe's Country Music People magazine.

On recording as in live performance, she conveys a sense of rawness, a depth of feeling, and a lack of pretension that set her apart from the rest of the city’s pool of talented up-and-coming musicians.
