"Every Patty Griffin song arrives fully and perfectly formed, which is perhaps her greatest gift.
Her songwriting is honest and compassionate no matter the subject.
Her voice is uniquely compelling and her guitar work unfailingly evocative.
She's a songwriter at the top of her already formidable game."

-NPR

GRAMMY® Award-winning singer/songwriter Patty Griffin has announced an acoustic tour
beginning May 1 at The Blue Door in Oklahoma City, OK, and ending May 19 at Gruene Hall in
New Braunfels, TX. All dates except the Gruene Hall show will see Griffin performing with her
deeply talented long-time guitarist David Pulkingham. The Gruene Hall show will be a full-band
performance featuring David Pulkingham on guitar, Craig Ross on bass and Conrad Choucroun
on drums. The complete tour dates are below.
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
two -time GRAMMY® Award winner (and seven-time nominee) has crafted nine classic studio
albums and two live collections, 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."
Based in Austin, TX, Griffin made an instant mark with her 1996 debut, Living With Ghosts, and
its 1998 follow-up, Flaming Red - both now considered seminal works of modern folk and
Americana. Griffin has since received a number of prestigious accolades, notably the Americana
Music Association's "Artist of the Year" and "Album of the Year" (for 2007's
GRAMMY®-nominated Children Running Through) as well as the 2011 GRAMMY® Award for
"Best Traditional Gospel Album," honoring 2010's Downtown Church.
Griffin is currently working her ways towards her eagerly anticipated next album, as open as
ever to new sounds and new songs. Her goals in the meantime are far more earthly,
contributing to the wellbeing of the planet and showing compassion for the less fortunate
among us via personal and public acts of charity including 2016's "Use Your Voice" tour in
conjunction with the League of Women Voters, and the 2017 "Lampedusa Tour" supporting the
Jesuit Refugee Service. Having already crafted a catalogue that chronicles love and death,
heartache and joy, connection and detachment, Griffin is continuing to push her art forward, as
always imbuing every effort with compassion and craft, uncanny perception and
ever-increasing ingenuity.
