Event type: Live Musical Performance

Folk Singer/Songwriter

Shawna Caspi is a solo singer-songwriter with a powerful voice and serious guitar chops. With a commanding stage presence and an inviting charm, she doesn’t need a band to deliver an engaging and energetic show. She has all the sound she needs under her fingertips, with a remarkable fingerstyle guitar technique. Shawna’s playful wit and sense of a seasoned storyteller makes each performance intimate and captivating, no matter the size of the room. She has played in venues from cafes to soft-seat theatres, from living rooms to festival stages – even in the lounge car of a moving train.

Shawna grew up in the folk clubs of Ottawa, a classically-trained singer and guitarist drawn to the music and songwriting of legendary local performers like Lynn Miles and Ian Tamblyn. At York University in Toronto, she favoured flamenco guitar lessons and new music studies, always returning to her folk roots as a singer-songwriter. Although she is based in Toronto, Shawna is most at home on the road and loves the long drives that define touring in Canada. Those are the landscapes and people that make their way into her songs. Shawna’s third full-length CD, a solo guitar/voice album, is currently in progress.

“…The best thing about Caspi’s music is that there’s never just one thing to focus on. One moment demands attention to her lyrics, which play poetically with life’s everyday moments, while another moment demands the listener’s attention turn to her impressive musicianship.” – Canadian Musician Magazine
