Ellie Shaw

Ellie was adopted from TX as a baby and has lived in the Meridian/Eagle area all her life. Ellie is a vocalist who plays piano, fiddle and jazz violin. She is part of a songwriting duo with her mom, Kiley. Ellie writes melodies in the style of tunes from the 1940’s with room for jazz improvisation. She has been performing as “Swingin’ with Ellie Shaw” since 2010. She started songwriting as a way of keeping The Great American Songbook alive by adding her own voice and creating future Jazz Standards. She is a recent graduate of NNU with a degree in Global Communication with an emphasis in Chinese and Music. Ellie has an old soul and loves how music can bridge the gap between generations. She hopes to encourage more young people to take up songwriting.
