Bonnie Raitt’s words encapsulate her impact: “She’s simply one of the best singers I’ve ever heard — and a truly gifted and deep songwriter and guitarist.”

“…extraordinary songs, mesmerising guitar playing, and a voice that goes effortlessly from bruise-tender to scar-hard in a matter of minutes…[Shawn Colvin’s] lyrics are crafted and clever, full of subtlety and polished phrases…With delicious sarcasm and acerbic stories, she held the audience spellbound… her songs are so personal to her that they speak to everyone who listens.” – The Guardian

In addition to her musical accomplishments, Tunstall has ventured into musical theatre, currently composing for the adaptation of the cult classic movie Clueless.
