If you've never seen Shawn Colvin, I would highly recommend heading to the Belly Up for tonight's show. Currently in the running for a Grammy for Best Contemporary Folk Album for Live, Colvin already has three Grammys under her belt, along with seven additional nominations. Though "Sunny Came Home" won two of her Grammys, I've always been partial to her other Grammy winning record, Steady On, for the song "Shotgun Down the Avalanche." If you're new to her music, she's an incredible live performer, and with a seated show tonight, she's certainly going to provide a beautiful evening of music. Josh Damigo will open the night.
