Shawn Colvin & KT Tunstall – Together Onstage in Orange County
11.01.24
The concert stage at Soka Performing Arts Center will come alive with the combined talents of two of the most acclaimed singer-songwriters of our time, Shawn Colvin and KT Tunstall on Saturday, November 2, 2024, at 8 PM.
It promises to be a night to remember, blending the raw, soulful artistry of Colvin and Tunstall for an electrifying musical experience.
Shawn Colvin is a multiple GRAMMY® Award-winner with 14 albums to her name. Her entry into the music world was nothing short of remarkable, with her debut album Steady On earning the GRAMMY® Award for Best Contemporary Folk Album in 1989. Over the past three decades, Colvin has built a legacy as a captivating performer and a brilliant songwriter with hits like “Sunny Came Home”, “I Don’t Know Why” and “You and the Mona Lisa”.
Her memoir, Diamond in the Rough, offers a profound glimpse into her life, highlighting the resilience and artistry that have defined her career. In 2016, she was honored with the Lifetime Achievement Trailblazer Award by the Americana Music Association. Bonnie Raitt described her as “simply one of the best singers I’ve ever heard — and a truly gifted and deep songwriter and guitarist.”
KT Tunstall, the GRAMMY®-nominated Scottish musician, made an explosive entrance into the music scene with her 2004 multi-platinum debut album Eye to the Telescope. Known for global hits like “Black Horse and the Cherry Tree” and “Suddenly I See,”
Tunstall is celebrated for her innovative use of looping technology and her seamless blend of introspective folk and energetic rock. Her recent trilogy of albums, KIN, WAX, and NUT, focuses on the concepts of soul, body, and mind, showcasing her evolution as one of today’s most exciting songwriters. Alongside her musical accomplishments, she has expanded her creative horizons into musical theater, currently composing for the adaptation of the cult classic movie Clueless.
Together, Shawn Colvin and KT Tunstall will create an evening filled with heartfelt melodies, engaging stories and unforgettable performances. Attendees can expect to be moved by Colvin’s deeply personal and masterfully crafted songs and captivated by Tunstall’s dynamic stage presence and innovative soundscapes. This concert is set to be a unique and memorable experience, blending their talents for a soulful and spellbinding performance.
Tickets for this not-to-be-missed event are available now. For more information and to purchase, visit: soka.edu.
