David Shaw is an American singer, songwriter, producer, and instrumentalist. He is a member of the rock band The Revivalists, who have released four albums, two EPs, and had a No. 1 Adult Alternative single, "Wish I Knew You".
Shaw's eponymous solo album was released in May 2021, accompanied by five singles, "Got Me Feeling Good," "Heavy Soul," "Shivers," "Shaken," and "Promised Land". The release was followed by his solo tour.
Two weeks after moving to New Orleans, he was playing his original song, "Purple Heart" on his acoustic guitar while sitting on his porch when Zack Feinberg rode by on his bicycle. The two met, then ended up forming The Revivalists.
Shaw and Feinberg formed The Revivalists in 2007, recruiting first drummer Andrew Campanelli, then later adding bassist George Gekas, pedal steel guitarist Ed Williams, and saxophonist Rob Ingraham. Keyboardist and trumpeter Michael Girardot joined the band in 2012, and drummer and percussionist PJ Howard in 2017.
With The Revivalists, Shaw has recorded five full-length albums: Vital Signs in 2010, City of Sound in 2014, Men Amongst Mountains in 2015, Take Good Care in 2018, and Pour It Out Into The Night in 2023. The band's breakout single, "Wish I Knew You" from Men Amongst Mountains, went to No. 1 on Billboard's Adult Alternative and Alternative radio charts in 2016, and sold over one million copies. The Revivalists have also released two EPs: The Revivalists in 2008 and Made in Muscle Shoals in 2020.
