ABOUT PATTY GRIFFIN:

Patty Griffin is among the most consequential singer-songwriters of her generation, a quintessentially American artist whose wide-ranging canon incisively explores the intimate moments and universal emotions that bind us together.

Over the course of two decades, the 2x GRAMMY® Award winner – and 7x nominee – has crafted a remarkable body of work in progress that prompted the New York Times to hail her for “[writing] cameo-carved songs that create complete emotional portraits of specific people…[her] songs have independent lives that continue in your head when the music ends.”

2019 saw the acclaimed release of the renowned artist’s GRAMMY® Award-winning 10th studio recording, PATTY GRIFFIN, available now via her own PGM Recordings label via Thirty Tigers. One of the most deeply personal recordings of Griffin’s remarkable two-decade career and first-ever eponymous LP, PATTY GRIFFIN made a top 5 debut on Billboard’s “Independent Albums” chart amidst unprecedented worldwide acclaim, and later, a prestigious GRAMMY® Award for “Best Folk Album.”

In 2022, Griffin shared TAPE, a collection of rare demos and home recordings hailed by No Depression as “a thoughtful collection of found objects…Griffin’s fans will be quite glad to have these songs in any form for the light they shine on her brilliance.” In addition to her creative career, Griffin has also devoted considerable energy and focus toward the well-being of the planet as well as showing compassion for the less fortunate among us via personal and public acts of charity.

Having crafted a rich catalog that chronicles love and death, heartache and joy, connection and detachment, Patty Griffin continues to push her art forward, as always imbuing every effort with compassion and craft, uncanny perception, and ever-increasing ingenuity.

ABOUT TODD SNIDER:

Hailed by Rolling Stone as “America’s sharpest musical storyteller” and by the New York Times as “a wryly quotable phrasemaker and worthy antagonist,” Todd Snider has long earned applause for his singular talent and deep catalog of songs spanning every emotional stripe.

From 1994’s debut album, Songs For The Daily Planet, to 2021’s funk-powered 2021’s First Agnostic Church of Hope and Wonder, Snider has devoted himself to the life of a troubadour, in his words, “someone who gets over by traveling around, telling stories, making up new songs and singing them alone on stage.”

That time-honored tradition is celebrated in Snider’s most recent release, 2022’s Live: Return of the Storyteller, available now via his own Aimless Records via Thirty Tigers. Snider’s third live album and 19th collection overall, the album plays like a masterclass by one man with a guitar and a freewheeling imagination, prompting PopMatters to rave, “Snider delivers his story songs with gusto and tells his shaggy dog tales with mischievous glee…a good primer for those unfamiliar with his work and a stimulating re-introduction for those curious to hear what he has been up to for all those years.”
