Americana Singer Songwriters Shawn Colvin  and Rodney Crowell Together On Stage Friday, Jun 13 at 7:30pm at the Groton Hill Music Center. 

Shawn Colvin stopped the industry in its tracks with her arresting 1989 debut, Steady On. The following spring, Colvin took home the GRAMMY Award for Best Contemporary Folk Album, establishing herself as a mainstay in the singer-songwriter genre. In the ensuing 30 years, Colvin has won three GRAMMY Awards, released thirteen superlative albums, written a critically acclaimed memoir, maintained a non-stop national and international touring schedule, appeared on countless television and radio programs, had her songs featured in major motion pictures and created a remarkable canon of work. Recent honors include the 2016 Lifetime Achievement Trailblazer Award by the Americana Music Association and an induction into the 2019 Austin City Limits Hall of Fame, alongside legendary artists Lyle Lovett and Buddy Guy.

Rodney Crowell is the songwriter’s songwriter and an icon among giants. Native Texan, Crowell is a multi-Grammy Award-winning troubadour with fifteen number-one hits. With more than 40 years of American roots music under his belt, Crowell has also been cited as the architect of Americana music. Over the course of his career, Crowell has gracefully blended his own mainstream success as an artist with a prolific catalog of songs cut by the likes of Emmylou Harris, Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, Keith Urban, The Grateful Dead, Etta James, and countless others, making him a master among his peers.
