Louisiana music favorite Amanda Shaw joins Jonathan Forstall on Local Legends for a conversation about growing up in Mandeville, picking up the violin at just four years old, and building a career rooted in Cajun music and New Orleans culture. Amanda reflects on performing at Jazz Fest since childhood, the pressures of working professionally as a teenager, and the importance of finding joy and community through music. She also shares the full-circle story of eventually working with producer Kent Wells, whose name she once read in the liner notes of her favorite Dolly Parton albums, and talks about her latest album, The Rhythm of My Roots, a celebration of the people, places, and sounds that have shaped her career.
