Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter Shawn Mullins comes to Brattleboro’s Stone Church on Wednesday, October 8, for a special evening of acoustic storytelling and Americana songcraft.

Best known for his 1998 breakout hit “Lullaby” and the AAA chart-topper “Beautiful Wreck,” Mullins has built a career weaving intimate folk ballads with widescreen Americana.

He’s also co-written hits like Zac Brown Band’s “Toes” and appeared in supergroup The Thorns with Matthew Sweet and Pete Droge. In recent years, Mullins revisited his breakthrough album with the Soul’s Core Revival, offering new solo and full-band interpretations of the songs that defined his career.

Opening the night is Jennifer Lynn Simpson, a Los Angeles–based songwriter whose blend of old country and Americana has earned festival awards and tours with Rick Springfield. Together, Mullins and Simpson promise an evening of heartfelt music in one of Brattleboro’s most iconic venues.
