ALBION, Mich. – One of the hottest  recording artists working today, two-time Grammy award winner Shawn Colvin brings her unique sound to southern Michigan with a concert Saturday, Sept. 30, at 8 p.m. in Albion College’s Goodrich Chapel.  Colvin’s appearance kicks of the Albion Performing Artist and Lecture Series (APALS) 2000-01 season.

Fueled by the smash hit Sunny Came Home from her album A Few Small Repairs, Colvin has established herself as a prominent contemporary singer/songwriter.  Her work earned her two Grammy Awards in 1997 and a recurring spot in the smash all-female music festival Lilith Fair, along with The Indigo Girls, Sheryl Crow and event organizer Sarah McLachlan. 

According to Rolling Stone magazine, Colvin’s “graceful melodies, reflective lyrics, and achingly pure soprano [have] led some … to compare the singer/songwriter to her idol, Joni Mitchell.”  Colvin has six solo recordings to her credit, and has been featured on 26 others.

Admission to any and all APALS events is free to APALS subscribers; current faculty, staff and students of Albion College; and retired administrators and faculty emeriti of Albion College.  Faculty and staff receive one guest admittance with their college I.D.  Students, faculty and staff must present their college I.D. at the door.
