Who is a ShyGirl?
A ShyGirl is a creative and passionate music-lover and maker who, for a variety of reasons, may have been reluctant to share or immortalize their shoebox treasures gathering dust under the bed. Maybe they’re musically-inclined but not recording yet or had negative interactions with gatekeeping, feeling intimidated by gear dudes, etc.
We organize and accommodate improvisation and chance operations with a dynamic rotation of ShyGirls members. We record, mix and release the sessions on bandcamp.
Our latest performance at PATHS.PARTIES
Lisa & me (Kate) perform our tune from the Early Days EP, “Flute Salad,” at PATHS.PARTIES 03 on April 12, 2025 in Montreal. Paths is revitalizing the D-I-Y music scene in Montreal, and we were grateful to open up for other talented musicians, Meggo & Pompey. Visuals by Océan Buxton.
Thanks to Jonathan Pinard for filming
