One of folk rock's most celebrated singer/songwriters comes to the Old Town School! Colvin is one of those rare performers, like Bonnie Raitt, Emmylou Harris or her youthful idol Joni Mitchell who has been able to grow up alongside her audience and mature into her role as singer and songwriter. She was rewarded with a Best Contemporary Folk Grammy for her 1989 debut disc Steady On and reached mainstream audiences when her story of a housewife's fiery revenge, "Sunny Came Home," became an unlikely top ten hit years later. She recently co-headlined with Emmylou Harris, Patty Griffin, and Buddy Miller in a string of acclaimed, sold-out performances.

Nicholas Barron is Chicago music. He sings like those blues cats that used to play on Maxwell Street. He performs and writes a mix of Acoustic Folk, Blues and Soul music; spiritual, real and deeply poetic. He plays guitar in a style that is truly his own; at once percussive and highly rhythmic with big beautiful chords and in funky tunings with his original one man band attack.
