An Evening with Shawn Colvin and KT Tunstall Together on Stage at Chautauqua Institution
Route 394, Chautauqua, NY 14722
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.
KT Tunstall burst onto the music scene with her 2004 multi-platinum debut, Eye to the Telescope – which spawned the global hits “Black Horse and the Cherry Tree” and “Suddenly I See”. These songs, paired with her pioneering looping skills, established KT as a captivating and dynamic performer, as well as a songwriter with a knack for balancing introspective folk and propulsive rock.
