Following 2006's highly-regarded These Four Walls, Shawn is scheduled to release a 15-song Live collection on June 23,2009 on Nonesuch. The album was recorded live in San Francisco during a three-night stint at Yoshi's in July 2008. That should further whet your appetite to hear this remarkable performer.
Shawn 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. Although she was rewarded with a Best Contemporary Folk Grammy for her 1989 debut disc, Steady On, Colvin didn’t reach a broad mainstream audience until eight years later, when her story of a housewife’s fiery revenge, "Sunny Came Home," became an unlikely top ten pop single fifteen months after the album it was taken from, A Few Small Repairs, was released. "I’m lucky," Colvin admits, "in that I built my career really slowly, started small, very intimately. I just toured a lot--the whole grassroots thing. I didn’t have a hit until I was well into my recording career."

This is
an appeal for washing before coming to an Outpost
concert... but not exactly. We are collecting donations of
unopened hotel amenities: soaps, shampoo, conditioner, lotion,
makeup samples, etc. as well as paper grocery bags for
distribution to those receiving assistance through the
Human
Needs Food Pantry in Montclair, NJ. What an easy way to make a
difference in the life of someone less fortunate! Articles will be
accepted at all Outpost concerts and activities.
