Let's make this birthday one to remember.

69 years old (Born on January 10, 1956)

Happy Birthday, Shawn Colvin! Ever since "Sunny Came Home" warmed our hearts—and metaphorically burned the house down—you've been crafting songs that are timeless anthems of independence and poetic justice. Decades later, your iconic track still inspires us all to pursue creative liberation (though perhaps not literally setting fires).

From Grammy wins to intimate acoustic sets, you've shown that storytelling and authenticity never go out of style. Here's hoping today is as liberatingly brilliant as your lyrics have continually proven—blazing trails without any property damage required. Cheers to another year filled with music, humor, and unwavering sunshine!
