Lucero / Son Volt Don't miss this fantastic evening of music as we welcome Lucero and Son Volt as they co-headline their first appearances on the Chautauqua stage. In the past 15 years the Memphis-born "rock" band Lucero has cycled through constant evolution, from punk-tinged country and "heartland rock" to nouveau R&B and soul. From his earliest recordings in the 1990s as a founding member of Uncle Tupelo, Jay Farrar has been a keen observer of the American landscape: its beauties and its tragedies, salvations and poisons. It's a perspective that’s been hard-won by steady touring and travel through this nation, and Farrar’s almost two-decades as the leader of Son Volt have only deepened and sharpened his gift for capturing the sights and sounds of his American journey – a gift which is in evidence once again on Son Volt’s sixth studio album: "Honky Tonk" Ride the Free HOP 2 Chautauqua shuttle to this show.

Shawn Colvin Shawn Colvin is one of the leading lights of the so-called "new folk movement" that began in the late '80s. Although she grew out of the somewhat limited "woman with a guitar" school, she kept the form fresh with a diverse approach, avoiding the genre's cliched sentiments and all-too-often formulaic arrangements in favor of a more personal, pop-influenced style. Colvin's debut record won the Grammy Award for Best Contemporary Folk Album in 1991, but it was her 1997 single, "Sunny Came Home," that firmly catapulted her into the mainstream.
