Shawn Colvin « Celebrating 30 Years of a Few Small Repairs »

Shawn Colvin celebrates 30 years of A Few Small Repairs with an intimate, song-first show that leans on her guitar, her voice and the stories that run through this landmark record. On 13 October 2026 at Òran Mór, Glasgow, the singer-songwriter revisits the album that brought Sunny Came Home to the airwaves, drawing on the folk and Americana textures that shaped her writing in the late 90s. Expect clear melodies, unadorned arrangements and lyrics that cut straight to the point, from the slow-burn tension of heartbreak songs to the wry details of everyday life.

Colvin’s craft is built on narrative and nuance, and this anniversary set puts that approach under the spotlight. The material from A Few Small Repairs sits alongside the threads that run through her catalogue, from early confessional sketches to later tunes honed on the road. Between songs, she likes to frame where they came from and how they’ve traveled with her, letting the audience into the process without fuss. It’s a rare chance to hear these tracks close-up, played by the artist who wrote them, in a room made for listening.
