2012–2013 Performing Arts Series

HARRIS THEATER

Shawn Colvin and Leo Kottke

September 29, 2012

Thank you for coming to this sold-out performance!

In an era of great singer-songwriters, Shawn Colvin stands out as a singular and enduring talent. She has released nine albums to date, including the platinum-selling
A Few Small Repairs, which featured the hit song "Sunny Came Home."

Innovative acoustic guitar virtuoso Leo Kottke made his major-label debut for Capitol Records in 1971 with Mudlark. Since then, Leo flourished and found himself branching out with guest musicians and unusual song covers, all the while honing his propulsive fingerpicking mastery. Together, they share the stage for an exciting acoustic evening of storytelling.

Executive Director Jonathan Winkle
