In an era when female singer-songwriters are ever more ubiquitous, Shawn Colvin stands out as a singular and enduring talent. Her songs are slow-release works of craft and catharsis that become treasured, 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 23 years since the release of her debut album, Colvin has won three Grammys, 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 canon of work. Combined sales of her albums total more than 2.5 million copies in the United States alone, and Colvin continues to tour nonstop throughout the year. Over the years, she has shared the stage and toured with legendary artists such as Jackson Browne, Bonnie Raitt, Bruce Hornsby, Emmylou Harris, John Hiatt, Don Helney and Lyle Lovett. She has toured internationally throughout her career, returning to places as near as the UK and Europe and as far as Asia, Australia, and New Zealand. June 2012 saw the release of Shawn’s studio album, All Fall Down, and the publication of her memoir, Diamond in the Rough. All Fall Down features performances by Alison Krauss, Emmylou Harris, Jakob Dylan, Bill Frisell, Viktor Krauss, Brian Blade, Stuart Duncan, and Julie Miller, among others. In 2016, she released Colvin and Earle, which she collaborated on with Steve Earle. Shawn Colvin continues to tour the globe. She cannot be stopped!
