Shawn Colvin

shawncolvinIf you have never seen Shawn Colvin perform live, you are in for an experience. Mostly recognized for her song ‘Sonny came home’, Shawn’s voice is both sweet and seductive. A good friend, and long time collaborator explains,”there’s a little bit of a mystery to it but whatever that mystery thing is, it spoke from the heart and you get that right away.”

I am sure there Shawn will have other performers onboard sit in with her occasionally, but those times when she is sitting on a stool, alone on stage, singing and chatting with the guests, will be the times to remember.

Shawn, we are so excited to have you back!

Ken Block

movie-sister-hazel_t180As the lead singer of Gainesville-based Sister Hazel, Ken has been writing and performing music for more than 20 years. Ken, the other 4 guys in the band, and the fans that surround them (the Hazelnuts), undoubtedly drove Sixthman to become the company we are today.

Ken’s voice, one of the most unique and distinguishable i’ve ever heard, is described as ”sometimes slightly raspy and gravelly in that easy, thoroughly engaging way that keeps it from being perfect.”  Once you hear it, i guarantee it will be impossible to NOT recognize it.

At the end of last year, Ken released his first ever solo album ‘Drift’ – a little more mellow than the typical Hazel sound, but full of nuggets all the same.

Make sure to catch him performing songs from his solo record, and playing alongside his other half in Sister Hazel, Drew Copeland.

Drew Copeland

drew-copelandAs another member of Sister Hazel, Drew has been working as a musician on the road for nearly 2 decades.  In that time, as much as he loved collaborating with 4 other band members on every song and decision, Drew also felt drawn to record a solo album, No Regrets.

“These were all songs that I had written or co-written and they all came from the heart and are very special to me,” said Drew.  ”I really had the creative freedom to see my vision all the way through with every song.”

I encourage you to pick up the album… but if you need some convincing, just stop by Drew’s show on board Cayamo, and see it for yourself. You’ll be going home hooked.
