Shawn Colvin

Standing out front of the world's female singer songwriters, Shawn Colvin is a singular and enduring talent. Admired for her slow-release songs and that sonic catharsis that comes with each of them, they become lifetime companions for their listeners. As a storyteller, Colvin is both keen and warm-hearted, leavening even the toughest tales with tenderness, empathy, and a searing sense of humor.

In the 19 years since the release of her debut album, Steady On, Colvin has won three Grammy Awards, released eight critically acclaimed solo albums, maintained a non-stop national and international touring schedule, appeared on countless television and radio programs, had her songs featured in major motion pictures, and created a remarkable cannon of work.

She is admired in all circles that respect the craft of a singer songwriter for not only her smooth, relatable voice and touching tales, but for her endurance and how she carries herself; a travelling troubadour on a mission to share her gift.
