Shawn Colvin

In 1996, singer-songwriter Shawn Colvin penned A Few Small Repairs. Featuring the hit single "Sunny Came Home," the album won Grammy Awards for record and song of the year. Propelled into the spotlight, the introspective folk rocker became one of the most popular performers of the time. And she's still at it. In 2012, Colvin released her eighth album, All Fall Down, along with her memoir, Diamond in the Rough. Echoing her candid songwriting, the book travels through the tumultuous emotional terrain that influences her onstage persona. Throughout it all, says the Austin Chronicle, “Colvin still writes with fearless honesty and genuine insight.”
