Unapologetically Sing Your Heart Out

We all love a show that sparks nostalgia and tears of joy, and that is precisely what you’ll get when you hear and see KT Tunstall and Shawn Colvin at Soka Performing Arts Center. From Colvin’s dual Grammy-winning song “Sunny Came Home” to Tunstall’s rockin’ hit song “Suddenly I See,” you’ll hear those songs that were so special to you, each reminding you of a moment in time that sparked such great emotion. Both Colvin and Tunstall have a vivid catalog of songs that will make you sing your heart out, cry, and just scream with joy. That is the beauty of music. It holds the magic of healing and allows for a much-needed emotional release. Tunstall and Colvin will provide all that and so much more.

A Common Link Between Generations

Colvin and Tunstall have blazed a trail for the younger generations, who today are so fond of raw lyrics and music that wears its heart on its sleeve or tells a story. From Tunstall’s indie rock roots and her experimental use of looping, her sound can go from a full-on rock out to sweet and soothing folk. And then you have Shawn Colvin, the queen of guitar-driven, heartfelt melodies. Some of her songs graced the most emotional moments in beloved 90s romance films which makes her music all the more nostalgic and memorable.

Fans of Boygenius, Clairo, and Beabadoobee would enjoy the sounds of Tunstall and Colvin, as they share many common links. That is why this performance might be a great opportunity for mothers and daughters to bond or sisters to connect, especially when they span generations and can come together with a love for rich songwriting.

Experience First-Class Acoustics at Soka

If you have yet to experience Soka Performing Arts Center’s acoustic mastery, make Tunstall and Colvin’s performance your first. The intimate venue holds 1,032 seats and sits beautifully on a hilltop in Aliso Viejo. But what is really striking about SOKA is its incredible sound.

And what better way to feel the soul of a venue than with two artists who are world-renowned for creating music that moves and soothes?
