Quote:
Shawn Colvin (b. January 10, 1956) is an American singer-songwriter and musician. Colvin was born in Vermillion, South Dakota and spent her youth in Carbondale, Illinois, where she attended Southern Illinois University Carbondale. She learned to play guitar at the age of 10 and gave her first public performance at the Southern Illinois University campus when she was 15.
Shawn began working in the music scene in earnest in the late 1970s, first in Austin, Texas and then nationally. She moved to New York City in 1980, where she became involved with the Fast Folk cooperative in Greenwich Village.[1]
She met music partner John Leventhal during this time; Leventhal became Colvin's producer on several albums. Colvin often lends her talent to contemporaries in the music business; she can be heard singing the backing vocals on the Suzanne Vega hit, "Luka". Vega returned the favor, singing backup on Colvin's "Diamond In The Rough", from her debut album, Steady On. Early in their careers, Colvin and Mary Chapin Carpenter formed a friendship that led to their frequently guesting on one-another's recordings: Colvin lent her vocals to Carpenter's 1992 recordings "The Hard Way" and "Come On Come On", and Mary Chapin returned the favor on Colvin's "Climb On a Back That's Strong", from Colvin's Fat City album. She also contributed in the studio and onstage to several Bruce Hornsby songs.
Colvin spent a short time in 1987-1988 with the North Carolina-based experimental string band the Red Clay Ramblers.
In 1988, Colvin was asked to perform a "trio" concert with fellow folk singer/songwriters Cheryl Wheeler and Mary Chapin Carpenter. The three performed two consecutive nights to critical acclaim at the Birchmere in Alexandria, Virginia. During these performances, Colvin performed several songs which appeared on her first two albums. The performances were recorded at the soundboard, but they were never released officially.[citation needed]
Colvin also has connections with singer-songwriters Julie Miller and Buddy Miller. Shawn became involved musically with the Millers when all three were working in Austin in the late 1970s/early '80s. Shawn provided backing vocals on Julie's first three solo albums (now out of print) released in 1990, 1991 and 1993.
Colvin's first several albums did not sell in substantial numbers, although she won a Grammy Award for Best Contemporary Folk Album for her debut album, Steady On (1990). After several albums of original work, Colvin released Cover Girl, a collection of cover versions. During this period, she also toured as Richard Thompson's opening act and back-up singer. She also sang "I Don't Want to Live on the Moon" with Ernie on Sesame Street, Ernie sang when Colvin said "hi" to him.
Colvin experienced breakthrough success with A Few Small Repairs in October 1996. The single "Sunny Came Home" reached the US Top Ten, and won Grammy Awards for Song and Record of the Year. She has released several subsequent albums which were nominated for Grammys, and she has also released a greatest hits album and a collection of Christmas music.
Colvin was the guest vocal artist on the Lisa Loeb single "Falling in Love". She performed at various Lilith Fair music festivals. Colvin's song "Nothin' on Me" served as the theme song to the Brooke Shields situation comedy Suddenly Susan. She also has been featured on the live music show Austin City Limits and played at the 2003 Austin City Limits Music Festival. She appeared in a 2001 tribute to Joni Mitchell that was broadcast on TNT.
Colvin appeared on The 30th Anniversary Concert Celebration (Bobfest) - October 16, 1992, at the Madison Square Garden, NYC. She performed "You Ain't Goin' Nowhere" with Rosanne Cash and Mary-Chapin Carpenter. She was part of the group of artists who performed "Knockin' on Heaven's Door." Both performances (including a picture of her) can be found on "Bob Dylan - The 30th Anniversary Concert Celebration" (Columbia 4740000 2)
Colvin appeared on Live from Abbey Road, which aired on Channel 4 in the UK and the Sundance Channel in the USA. Her live session recorded at Abbey Road Studios was shown on an episode with Nerina Pallot, The Zutons and Ray LaMontagne.
Colvin has recorded "Hold On To The Good Things" in 2002 that was played during the ending credits of Stuart Little 2. She also recorded "A Great Big World" which was played in The Little Bear Movie.
In 2007, Colvin released a single titled "Crazy", a cover of the Gnarls Barkley song.
Colvin released a 15-song collection titled Live on June 23, 2009 on Nonesuch Records[2]. The album was recorded live in San Francisco during a three-night stint at Yoshi's in July 2008.
On February 26, 2012, Colvin performed at the first annual PEN Awards for songwriting excellence at the JFK Presidential Library, honoring Chuck Berry and Leonard Cohen in Boston, Massachusetts.[3]
Shawn cites Joni Mitchell as a primary influence on her music.

A Few Small Repairs is a concept album about divorce, as Shawn Colvin's marriage was ending. At the time of the album's release, she had relocated to Austin, Texas.[4] The biggest single off the album was "Sunny Came Home", which was released in 1997. The cover of this album is a picture of a three-eyed woman with a lit match, presumably Sunny. The song peaked on the Billboard Top 100 at number 7[5], and topped the Adult Contemporary[6], Adult Top 40[7], and Top 40 Adult Recurrents[8] charts the same year.
Another notable song off the album was "Nothin' On Me", which peaked at number 24 on Billboard's Adult Top 40 chart.[9] The song was also used on Suddenly Susan as its theme song from 1997 to 2000.[10] Colvin appeared on the show in the second season episode Ready ... aim ... Fong!.[11] She performed the song on the show.
Grammy success came to Colvin two years after the release of A Few Small Repairs. In the 1997 Grammy Awards, she was nominated for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance award for "Get Out of This House" and Best Pop Album for A Few Small Repairs.[12] At the next year's Grammy Awards, Colvin was nominated for Song of the Year and Record of the Year for "Sunny Came Home". She won both awards (Leventhal also won Song of the Year).[13] As Colvin started her speech after winning Song of the Year, rapper Ol' Dirty Bastard stormed the stage protesting his loss of an award that same night, saying, "...I don't know how you all see it, but when it comes to the children, Wu-Tang is for the children..." leading him to be escorted off stage.[14] Colvin continued speaking, remarking, "I'm really confused now!"[15]
