Three time Grammy winner, Shawn Colvin may be best known for her 1997 hit "Sunny Came Home," but she is far from a one-hit wonder. A talented singer songwriter respected by peers and critics alike, Colvin has performed with the likes of Allison Kraus, Lyle Lovett and Bruce Hornsby, and can be heard on Chris Botti’s tune All Would Envy, written by Sting. Described as "a literate lyricist in the Joni Mitchell tradition," Colvin took a hiatus from the music business to raise a family. What she temporarily lost in marketplace visibility, she gained in life lessons both bitter and sweet, gathering up insights and emotions that have found their way into her latest songs. In 2006, she returned with a new folk rock album, These Four Walls, which received critical praise. Colvin is sure to captivate the audience as she performs her emotionally charged lyrics in an all acoustic performance.
"Long on charisma and tenacity, Colvin can bring audiences deep into the worlds of her songs..."
