Welcome to Top Ten With…, a fun Q&A session where you’ll get to learn all about the music scene’s hottest artists! This month, we’re doing a special “Rockin’ Moms” interview series in honor of Mother’s Day. Each week in April, we’ll be featuring interviews with artists who have been inspired by motherhood to record children’s albums. This will culminate in a special CD bundle giveaway launching on April 30th, so you’ll definitely want to stay tuned!
Today’s featured artist is Shawn Colvin, the singer/songwriter behind the GRAMMY-Award winning song “Sunny Came Home“. Her music career spans 30 years – and her motherhood career spans 19 – so she combined both these areas of expertise in her latest album The Starlighter, an Amazon Original collection of lullabies. Get to know more about Shawn through our exclusive interview!
Top Ten With Shawn Colvin
I’m inspired by: music, theater, film, art, fabric, architecture, and the idea that we are right
where we’re supposed to be.
I realized I wanted to play music when: I heard it.
Four songs you might find on my iPod (or Echo!):
Marvin Gaye – “Ain’t That Peculiarâ€
Paul Simon – “Gracelandâ€
Steely Dan – “Time Out Of Mindâ€
“Hamilton†soundtrack
Joni Mitchell – “Ameliaâ€
One word I would use to describe myself: honest
The best part of being a musician is: doing what I love.
Right now, I’m most excited about: playing in Hyde Park this July as part of Paul Simon’s Farewell Tour
Something most people don’t know about me is: I pray.
One of my happiest moments was: having lunch with my daughter today
My music is: honest
In ten years, I see myself: working as a musician.
The Starlighter is available now on Amazon! You can stream it for free with your Prime Membership, and pick up the CD or MP3 album while you’re there. And don’t forget to keep up with the latest news and releases from Shawn Colvin at her official website, ShawnColvin.com.
