Tim Shaw has been enjoying tremendous success performing solo in Sydney’s live venues, frequently playing to capacity audiences. His performance covers a wide range of musical taste, from ballads and pub singalong to plenty of up tempo Rock n’ Roll, including his own originals. He easily and quickly develops a rapport with his audience, being able to mingle without restrictions of attached cables . His computer controlled equipment is the most advanced available, delivering completely realistic digital sound from thousands of instruments.
Tim has produced and sung on hundreds of advertising commercials, and can be heard singing the theme for the Internationally successful soap Opera “Breakers”, Shown on Channel 10, or Paul Clitheroe’s “Money” program on channel Nine. His first original CD has been played on nearly all major FM stations around Australia.

He has appeared many times on Australian, American, Canadian television, including “The Daryl Somers Show” and “The Midday Show” with Ray Martin. The "Tim Shaw Band" (a five piece outfit) was selected as the resident Australian band at the World Expo in New Orleans and the Venue quickly became the most popular night spot in the city! On Catching Tim’s performance David Bowie once remarked he was the best solo act he’d seen.
