Grammy-winning singer-songwriter Shawn Colvin brings her acoustic guitar and a big bag of great songs to the Moon for a solo show that marks her Tallahassee debut.

“She is not your stereotypical folk singer,” enthused The Associated Press. “Nor really is she a folkie at all, any more than, say, Joni Mitchell or Paul Simon are…Her real identity is that of a grownup American pop artist, perhaps the most articulate and affecting currently in operation.”

Since her debut record in 1989, Colvin has delivered remarkably wellwritten songs, spare but intricate arrangements, an odd cover or two, and very convincing performances. Along the way, she’s earned four Grammys, including Record of the Year and Song of the Year for 1998’s huge hit “Sunny Came Home.”

Over the years, Colvin’s work has matured and gotten even better, and her latest CD, These Four Walls, is among her best. The Washington Post noted, “The songs are easy to love, with smooth surfaces to glide along if one merely wishes to skim the top, but the emotions fueling the lyrics are more complex and more mature than anything she’s offered previously.”
