Recognized by the Rocky Mountain News as Denver's Top Male Vocalist, Byron Shaw's resume has garnered more than its fair share of notable line items. But his most impressive undertaking to date may be his solo effort, an eclectic exploration of dub, jazz, funk, hip hop and soul called the Byron Shaw Projex. Joined by some of Denver's finest, the Byron Shaw Projex is a dervish of soul-shaking grooves; a funk junket through years and genres that drifts past only once in a lapis moon... all aboard! “It’s kinda like Portishead meets Rick James at a Tito Puente concert with Bob Marley’s sons throwing the after party!”- Byron Shaw

As the leader of The Jonez and Judge Roughneck, Byron Shaw has been a headliner on the Denver music scene for longer than some of its younger members have been alive -- but that doesn't mean he's stopped evolving as an artist.
Why he’s tops: The band long ago graduated from a niche ska band to Denver darling, and Byron Shaw is a big reason. Whether it’s singing British Two-tone or reggae or R&B or soul or rock, Shaw is equally comfortable. His velvet tone is nearly peerless in the Mile High City.
The Scene The Byron Shaw Projex has been around the block once or twice. It’s an established name in the Mile High, one that is a fixture on the scene without being made of cement. Byron himself cut his chops with the Jonez and then took Judge Roughneck to the top of the regional Ska scene. The rest of the group is equally as traveled and equally differing in background.
The Show From private events to clubs all over the country (and even another country or two), the Byron Shaw Projex can bring ‘em in, and keep ‘em having a good time when they do.
