Shawn Colvin & Loudon Wainwright III

In her 19-year career, singer/songwriter Shawn Colvin has won three Grammy® Awards, released eight albums, and maintained a nonstop national and international touring schedule. Colvin, best known for her Top 10 hit “Sunny Came Home,” has a storytelling song style which is both keen and warm-hearted.

Since his debut in 1970, Grammy® Award-winning Folk singer Loudon Wainwright III has recorded over 20 albums. His songs include “Dead Skunk,” “Needless to Say,” “Glad to See You've Got Religion,” “My Girl” with John Hiatt, and “The Man Who Couldn't Cry” (also covered by Johnny Cash on Cash’s 1994 album American Recordings). Wainwright is also known as the singing surgeon, Capt. Calvin Spaulding from the TV show M*A*S*H. Most recently, in January 2010, Wainwright won a Grammy® for Best Traditional Folk Album for High Wide & Handsome.
