Biography Oliver Shaw was a singing master, organist, composer, singer, and music publisher. He moved to Providence in 1807, where he served as organist, and sang in concerts of the Boston Handel and Haydn Society. One of his students was Lowell Mason. His later songs became the first American ballads in the English style of the time (Britton, Lowens, and Crawford 1990).
