Eddie Shaw

Stringtown (Mississippi, 1937)

When the blues revival of the 60's and 70's were in full swing if was only natural that Eddie Shaw was a focal point of the movement. Most notably, Eddie Shaw & The Wolfrang was the original back-up band for the legendary Howlin' Wolf until his untimely death in 1975. . .but it doesn't end there. The band has performed in virtually every state in the U.S. and in over a dozen foreign countries. They have played everywhere from Carnegie Hall to the small, intimate blues clubs in Chicago to J.F.K.'s inauguration. They are considered to be one of the premier Chicago blues bands performing today.

Eddie Shaw on tenor and alto saxes and harmonica is a very talented singer/songwriter, musician, arranger and band leader. He was Howlin' Wolf's personal manager for over five years and is one of the most respected blues musicians alive today.
