Introducing… Shawn Colvin
Shawn Colvin is an American singer-songwriter who first learned to play the guitar at age 10 and gave her first public performance at the University of Illinois when she was 15.
She started working in the Austin music scene in the late seventy’s, but by 1980 she made the move to NYC where she became involved with the Fast Folk cooperative. At this time she was also playing in the Buddy Miller Band. It wasn’t until she met John Leventhral who pushed her towards finding her own voice as a songwriter. It proved to be the right move for Colvin, as her first solo album, “Steady On,” won the Grammy for Best Contemporary Folk Album.
Currently Colvin is performing in select cities throughout the summer while she works on writing her memoir highlighting the last 19 years of her musical career. One highlight on the road is a co-headlining gig with Mary Chapin Carpenter in August. Shawn Colvin tickets are available now.
