Shawn Colvin

June 18th, 7:30pm

$45

In an era when female singer-songwriters are ever more ubiquitous, Shawn Colvin stands out as a singular and enduring talent. Her songs are slow-release works of craft and catharsis that become treasured, lifetime companions for their listeners.

As a storyteller, Colvin is both keen and warm-hearted, leavening even the toughest tales with tenderness, empathy, and a searing sense of humor. In the 30 years since the release of her debut album, Colvin has won three GRAMMY Awards, released thirteen 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.

🌟 THIS SATURDAY 🌟

HOMEGROWN ft. Glassfishis w/ Shelby Cobb

Glassfishis is a Portland, Maine–based alternative psych rock band formed in 2022, delivering high-energy live performances and a sound that blends nostalgic psychedelia with modern alternative edge. Their debut EP, In The Waves (2024), was met with strong local acclaim and celebrated with a sold-out release event. Festival highlights include standout performances at All Roads Festival in ‘24 and ‘25. With recent singles released and a full-length album currently in production, Glassfishis continues to build momentum with immersive visuals, evolving arrangements, and plans for an LP release and tour in 2026.

(Opener) Shelby Cobb is an independent Indie/Folk/Rock musician based in Gardiner. Rooted in honesty and emotional intuition, her songs are shaped by real moments — love, uncertainty, growth, and the reflections that come with learning who you are or aren’t anymore. Shelby will be accompanied by a band consisting of Ethan Eckersley-Ray on guitar, Griffin Hochheiser on bass, and Robby Dalton on drums.

This show will take place on the Logan Stage (1st Floor)
