Adjusting to a new city is both thrilling and challenging. Finding your place in a new space, making something foreign feel like home, creating depth with new friends. It takes time and patience and grace with oneself. Nashville has been amazing so far. This city radiates youthful, creative, exciting energy and I’ve never felt more inspired to create and to push my music to new realms. It’s exactly where I need to be. I can’t wait to see where this path leads. 📸: @willstockwell
Holiday season and family. Can’t beat it. Amazing week of intentional time in Nashville last week. ❤️
SAN DIEGOOOO! You know that jingle. “Mossy Nissan moves you.” @mossynissansd is celebrating 30 years of the classic song with the “Voice of Mossy Nissan” contest. I’m working with them, along with the awesome @kiyoshimusic, as a judge for it through December. All you have to do is record yourself singing it, and hashtag #MossyNissanJingle for a chance to win the monthly prize of $500. And if you are the monthly winner, you have a chance to win the grand prize of $1000 cash, plus $2000 to the charity of your choice, AND your voice on the jingle for a month straight. Get those videos up yo! That tune is pretty fun to jam on too ——
Thinking about my California friends and family and all those affected by the fires. Terrifying and heartbreaking. Stay safe out there my people.
Ahhh fall in Nashville. A time to roll around in the leaves and throw your loved ones in the air 🍁
My Nashville lineup... —————————————————————- Texas! I’ll be touring through this weekend, playing in Houston tonight 11/2 at the @theheightstheater and Dallas tomorrow 11/3 at the @kesslertheater, opening for @bodeans!
Hey San Diego! I’m stoked to be partnering with @mossynissansd as a judge for The Voice of #MossyNissanJingle - a contest celebrating 30 years of their classic Mossy Nissan tune. ——————————————————————— Throw up a video of you singing/playing their jingle with the hashtag #MossyNissanJingle (on a public profile) for a chance to win $500 (one winner each month thru December) and the possibility of winning the grand prize at the end of the year: $1000, your voice on the Mossy commercial for a month, AND best of all, $2000 donated to a charity/organization of your choice. Pretty rad. Think of the good you could do? ——————————————————————— This is for anybody and everybody, professionals and amateurs alike. I’m excited to see what you guys come up with and to choose some winners! Submit those videos.. @mossynissansd #MossyNissanJingle
Checked “playing a show in a cave” off the bucket list last night. What a venue! Thanks @bodeans and @cumberlandcavernslive! North Carolina, you’re up next. Asheville tomorrow night and Charlotte on Wednesday.
Travel Flashback: Cambodia, 2015. I love how when you visit new places in the world, you take a little piece of them with you to keep in your memory bank, and to access at any time. And how photos trigger the feelings and smells of being somewhere... Angkor Wat was hot as balls, serene, mystical, and smelled like jungle.
Yo! One week from today! Playing at one of the coolest looking venues in the country, 300 feet below the ground in Tennessee. @cumberlandcavernslive opening for @bodeans - 2pm doors, 3pm show, October 21st. Get your tickets! And North Carolina, I’m coming to Asheville and Charlotte after on the 23rd and 24th. Hope to see you at a show 😛
Many new songs will be written in this chair with my main lady @taylorguitars 814ce. 🎼 New loops, song, and creativity coming soon.. PS How important is it to have a workspace you are comfortable in?! 🙋🏻‍♂️

ABOUT TOLAN

 

Tolan Shaw is an award-winning pop/soul singer-songwriter who will stop at nothing to build a career with his original music. Based in Nashville but originally from southern California, Shaw is both a solo acoustic troubadour and the frontman of his own band. His music is catchy and soulful, bluesy and melodic, poppy and sincere. It is also highly inspired by his yearn to travel and to learn about the world and its people. 

In the last year, Shaw won "Best Singer-Songwriter" at the 2017 San Diego Music Awards, became a Taylor Guitars official artist, wrote music with notable hit writers, and took a 4 month journey to Southeast Asia (endorsed by Taylor and GoPro) to write songs and create a travel-music video series called “Wandersong.” Having shared the stage with international acts such as Gavin DeGraw, Nate Ruess (fun), and the BoDeans, toured nationally and internationally, and achieved success writing and licensing songs with various TV networks and music libraries. Currently working with manager John Dehais, who helped steer the careers of Goo Goo Dolls, Green Day, and Alanis Morissette among many others, Shaw is well positioned to have a long and fruitful career.  

“Shaw(s) lyrics and melodies and reminiscent... of an American style Ed Sheeran, with the calming flavour of Jack Johson and a lot of positivity thrown in, similar to Michael Franti. Blend it all together for a truly great combination. Contemporary, but a definite crossover of styles from bluesy to pop. Tolan Shaw captures the attention of all ages.”
— Cheryl Alterman, Bay Area Magazine, 2017
