American singer-songwriter-musicians Shawn Colvin and Steve Earle are the latest addition to the Roots and Blues roster.

Known for her Grammy-winning 1997 single Sunny Came Home, Colvin met Earle (Copperhead Road) in 1987 when she opened for him in Northampton, Mass.

They started performing as an acoustic  duo two years ago, and just released an album, with the first single, You’re Right (I’m Wrong).

The two will blend their voices in sweet and raspy harmony when they take the stage at Roots and Blues at the Salmon Arm Fairgrounds, Aug. 19 to 21.

Other artists slated to perform include David Gogo, Whitehorse, The Bros. Landreth, Matt Andersen, Paul Barrere and Fred Tackett of Little Feat, Delhi 2 Dublin and others.
