BIO:
Patty Larkin has been redefining the boundaries of folk-urban pop music for 25 years with her inventive guitar wizardry and uncompromising vocals and lyrics. Acoustic Guitar hails her “soundscape experiments” while Rolling Stone praises her “evocative and subtle sonic shading.” She has been described as “riveting” (Chicago Tribune), “hypnotic” (Entertainment Weekly) and a “drop-dead brilliant” performer (Performing Songwriter).
In 2010, she celebrates a quarter of a century of music making with 25, a recording 25 love songs reworked with voice and guitar and 25 friends. Guest artists include Shawn Colvin, Suzanne Vega, Bruce Cockburn, Mary Chapin Carpenter and many others (25 in all). 25 is the unplugged version of classic Patty Larkin love songs, created with a dream team of some of acoustic music's heroes. A collectible collection for fans and critics alike, 25 is eloquent marker for an illustrious career.
In the spirit of camaraderie and musical adventure, Patty will unite with many of her musical colleagues in a highly anticipated series of performances throughout 2010.
25 is her first project since her NY Times critics choice Watch The Sky and ground-breaking La Guitara, a compilation of international women guitarists. Patty is currently writing for her next project.
