From The Iron Horse Archives: Shawn Colvin 1988

I took this photo one summer night when Shawn Colvin played an opening set for Richard Thompson. It was still light out and if you can picture it, the Horse was half as wide as it is now and I don't even think the balcony had been built. Shawn is standing where the door person now sits in the window, which was the stage back then. I think the club's capacity was about 85. This was when Shawn was just starting to catch on, managed by Carol Young and Charlie Hunter, and not yet signed to Columbia Records.

If you have any old photos, we'd love to share them with our readers!
