Old Town ME, United States (1964 – present)

Patty Griffin, born Patricia Jean Griffin, March 16th, 1964 in Old Town, Maine, is an American folk singer.

She brought out her debut album Living With Ghosts—a set of demos featuring only Ms. Griffin and her guitar—to critical acclaim in 1996. Her sophomore album, Flaming Red, demonstrated a more rocking, full-band sound. The ill-fated Silver Bell album was never released by her record label. After switching to ATO Records, the label of Dave Matthews, Ms. Griffin brought out 1000 Kisses and Impossible Dream, which were both nominated for Grammy awards. In March 2007, she released Children Running Through to great critical acclaim. A fabulous live album A Kiss In Time recorded at the Ryman is an undiscoverd classic and if you are lucky you can get a copy which includes a DVD which has videos for Rain and Chief plus interviews with Patty.

She has penned a wide variety of songs - Long Ride Home, Top of the World, Tony, Forgiveness, Chief, Mad Mission—that touch her listeners deeply. A number of high profile artists have covered Patty’s songs, including the Dixie Chicks, Bette Midler, Emmylou Harris, The Wreckers, Solomon Burke and pop star Kelly Clarkson.

Thanks marybeth-damico! I'm ridiculously excited about that. :D I get frustrated that so many people have no idea about Patty at all, but on the other hand, part of me likes having her to myself. :)
