Patty Griffin Celebrates Seventh Album Release American Kid with 6/6 Kimmel Center Performance

In celebration of her seventh album release, American Kid, Patty Griffin makes debut performance at the Kimmel Center's Verizon Hall on Thursday, June 6 at 7:30 p.m. Griffin's singing is as extraordinary as her songwriting, with music steeped in Americana, love, sadness, apparitions, and salt-of-the-earth characters. Known for her remarkably powerful, personal, and unpredictable song style, Griffin wrote American Kid in honor of her father. Tickets go on sale to the public Friday, May 3 at 10 a.m.

American Kid ( New West Records, May 7 release date) is co-produced by Griffin and Craig Ross, and is her first album of new material since the acclaimed Children Running Through in 2007. In between then and now, she made the Grammy Award-winning Downtown Church in 2010 and became a member of Band of Joy alongside Robert Plant.

Tickets are available at $35 to $55, plus applicable service charges, and can be purchased at kimmelcenter.org, 215-893-1999, or at the box office located at Broad and Spruce streets, Philadelphia, Pa. (open daily from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., later on performance evenings).
