Hailing from the melting pot of New Orleans, Shawn Williams makes music that's every bit as diverse and hauntingly soulful as her hometown. She calls it "alt-rocka countrybilly, serial killer blues," carving out an atmospheric sound that blends amplified guitars, rawly honest lyrics, and nocturnal arrangements into her own brand of Americana-noire.  

Two of Shawn's latest albums were co-produced by GRAMMY award-winning producer Mark Howard (Bob Dylan, The Neville Brothers, Neil Young...).  Williams self-produced her other four albums, spotlighting the combination of creative vision and do-it-yourself drive that's earned her shows alongside fellow roots-music mainstays like Leon Bridges, Wanda Jackson, Cyril Neville, Shannon McNally, LA LOM,  Heart, Sarah Shook & The Disarmers, and more.

Shawn plans to start recording her seventh album, with her studio band, in late 2026.

Find her song “You Got Some Growin' Up To Do” in the new comedy Re-Election, starring Tony Danza and Adam Saunders.

"Her throaty rasp, sardonic lyrics and the confidently pugnacious band behind her combine, at best, to suggest a spiritual sister to both Lucinda Williams and Chrissie Hynde." - Uncut Magazine

"Voice alone and you might get that nostalgic feeling from Shawn Williams that is an aching twangy southern soul that is more often mimicked than authenticated..the real deal, undisputed soulful artist category: destined for a shot as a career artist." - Glide Magazine
