About Patty Griffin tickets

Singer and songwriter Patty Griffin came at music honestly, the hard way, earning her keep slowly working up through performing at Boston clubs, and eventually winning Grammy Awards for her pure, heartfelt songwriting. Griffin didn't pursue music as a career until relatively late. Born in 1964 in Old Town, Maine, she loved music growing up, but was discouraged from thinking about it as a profession. Instead, she pursued athletics, got married, waited tables, and got divorced before finally making a successful demo that landed her a contract with A&M Records. That demo became her debut album, Living with Ghosts, released in 1996 to instant critical acclaim. Her second album, Flaming Red, was an unexpected departure from her soulful, acoustic debut, but her fans eventually adjusted to the more high-tempo rock and roll sound. Her third album, Silver Bell wasn't released, and Griffin was dropped from A&M before signing on with Dave Matthews' ATO Records and continuing her recording career. Though Patty Griffin has performed her way to success and is known for her intimate, emotional live shows, it's as a songwriter that she has equally excelled, and her songs have been covered by an impressive list of performers, from Linda Ronstadt, the Dixie Chicks, Bette Midler, Emmylou Harris, to Mary Chapin Carpenter, Martina McBride, Joan Osborne, Solomon Burke and many more. Patty Griffin's success is based on her ability to be honest and unabashed in front of a crowd. Her performances are unapologetic and real, and Patty Griffin tickets are a chance to connect with a songwriter who has lived life and isn't afraid to show it.
