An Evening With Shawn Colvin

One of our favorite artists makes her first visit to the ASC. Her latest release These Four Walls is perhaps her most assured and compelling work to date. Colvin is one of those rare performers, like Bonnie Raitt, Emmylou Harris, or her youthful idol Joni Mitchell, who has been able to grow up alongside her audience and mature into her role as singer and songwriter. She was rewarded with a Best Contemporary Folk Grammy for her 1989 debut disc Steady On and reached mainstream audiences when her story of a housewife's fiery revenge, "Sunny Came Home," became an unlikely top ten hit years later and earned Colvin another Grammy. She recently co-headlined with Emmylou Harris, Patty Griffin, and Buddy Miller in a string of acclaimed, sold-out performances. An Evening with Shawn Colvin at the Alys Stephens Center, this Friday, March 5 at 8 P.M. Call (205) 975-ARTS for ticket information.
