    Shawn Colvin – songwriter, storyteller, urban cowgirl, singing waitress

    Shawn Colvin was in the spotlight from the age of 10 playing her parents’ parties, singing in bars at college, acting off-Broadway and joining country swing bands before making 12 solo albums. She’s touring the UK and Ireland from late September and looks back on it all with us from her home in Austin, Texas. Lots of great moments here, these among them …   … growing up on hymns, Pete Seeger and the Kingston Trio with a Dad who tried to get stoned at a Judy Collins gig   … being a spoons-playing singing waitress with Maria Muldaur in an off-Broadway musical   … playing four sets a night of Dylan, Joni Mitchell and Simon & Garfunkel for tips and beer on the Illinois bar circuit   … acting in the Simpsons and Larry Sanders   … life in dance halls in country swing bands   … her part in “the great ‘80s Urban Cowboy Scare”   … how to connect with festival crowds when it’s raining   … the Richard Thompson glass bowl requests system   … and covers she never tires of playing – Joan Baez, U2, Gnarls Barkley.

  2. What my father gave me, by Shawn Colvin

    What my father gave me, by Shawn Colvin

    Shawn Colvin grows up in a dangerous house. There’s a dad with a hair-trigger temper. But there’s also a dad who builds things, and who plays music, who teaches Shawn how to play a guitar. Years later, an out-of-the-blue phone call gives Shawn the opportunity to explain to her dad what her childhood was like – and to forgive him. In this act of compassion, Shawn is able to let go of her own burden and find compassion for herself — who she is now and the lost little kid she used to be.
