Amanda Shaw is a teenaged Cajun fiddler, singer, and actress from Covington Louisiana. Shaw studied classical violin starting at age 4, but began playing and performing Cajun music at 8. She and her band, the Cute Guys, appear regularly throughout the New Orleans area, including annual shows at the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival. She has recorded two independently-released albums, "Little Black Dog" (2001) and "I'm Not a Bubble Gum Pop Princess" (2004) — the latter including not only traditional Cajun melodies but eclectic choices such as The Clash’s, “Should I Stay or Should I Go” and The Ramones' "I Wanna Be Your Boyfriend" (changed to "Girlfriend"). In 2006, Shaw signed with Rounder Records. Shaw has appeared in two Disney Channel original movies filmed in New Orleans: Her best-known screen role, however, is as one of the principal narrators in Hurricane on the Bayou (2006), a documentary about Hurricane Katrina.
