SHAWN COLVIN
In an era when female singer-songwriters have been ever-more ubiquitous, Shawn Colvin stands out as a singular and enduring talent. The three-time Grammy winner has released eight albums to date, including the platinum A Few Small Repairs which featured the hit song “Sunny Came Home.” Colvin's songs have been included on many soundtracks ("Armageddon," "Serendipity," “Because of Winn Dixie” and more), and she has also made appearances in films (“Grace Of My Heart,” "Heartbreakers," and the forthcoming “Crazy”), on television ("Suddenly Susan," "The Simpsons," "The Larry Sanders Show") and on the stage (“The Vagina Monologues”). Her most recent album, These Four Walls, (2006), was lauded by People Magazine as “the most self-assured album of her career” and “one for the ages” by the Washington Post. The Austin-American Statesman called it “an exquisite portrait of strength and vulnerability.”
