About Shawn Colvin

Grammy-winner Shawn Colvin came up on the east coast folk scene in the '80s, finally scoring a major label deal toward the end of that decade. Despite consistently strong work centred around her resilient voice and folk-rock songwriting, she didn't hit it big until her 1996 album A FEW SMALL REPAIRS, which put her on the pop map, though the singer-songwriter crowd had been cooing her praises for years.
