Shawn Colvin will be at Anthology Thursday and Friday night

Taking the stage with only her acoustic guitar and that distinctly tranquil voice, Colvin captured the crowd with hits like “Fill Me Up,” and “Polaroids.”

Born in Vermillion, South Dakota, Colvin began performing when she was 15. Since releasing her debut album Steady On in 1989, Colvin has had impressive record sales and continues to perform live over 50 times per year, proving she’s an enduring presence in American music.

With talent extending far beyond her 1997 Grammy-winning hit “Sunny Came Home”, no one seemed to mind that Colvin didn’t include the song in last night’s performance. The acoustic performances of songs like “Wichita Skyline” gave Colvin a James Taylor-esque quality.

Colvin closed the set with “Round of Blues” from her 1992 album Fat City before returning to the stage for an encore performance including her popular version of the Gnarls Barkley hit “Crazy.”

Most of the songs Colvin performed are on her newest release, Shawn Colvin: Live, recorded last year during a three-night performance at Yoshi’s jazz club in San Francisco.

Colvin applauded the beautiful atmosphere at Anthology, and with the flawless acoustics of the venue, the night felt more like a cozy living room concert than just the average club experience.

Opened in 2007 by Howard and Marsha Berkson, Anthology is both restaurant and concert venue. Some say hybrids of this kind are often lacking, but Anthology does it all well. Combining seamless service, a delicious menu inspired by local and seasonal flavors and a warm, intimate atmosphere, the venue is sure to please music enthusiasts and gourmets alike.

This week’s dinner menu includes a plate of herb gnocchi and sautéed baby summer squash, served with petite heirloom tomatoes and topped with the finest parmesan. For dessert, try the trio of profiteroles, delicious cream puffs layered with espresso and vanilla ice creams, mascarpone and brandied cherries.

While any concert at Anthology would be a treat, Shawn Colvin and a plate of gnocchi made for a wonderful night of timeless music and cuisine.
