Patty Griffin is a revered American singer-songwriter and musician whose artistry spans over two decades, etching her mark in the realms of folk, Americana, and alternative country music. Born Patricia Jean Griffin on March 16, 1964, in Old Town, Maine, she developed a penchant for music from a young age, drawing inspiration from her mother's singing and the songs on the family's radio. Griffin's poignant lyrics and rich, emotive voice have earned her critical acclaim and a dedicated fan base. Her career breakthrough came with her second album, "Flaming Red," which marked a departure from the acoustic sound of her debut and showcased her versatility as an artist.

Over the years, Patty Griffin has released a multitude of albums that showcase her storytelling prowess and ability to convey raw emotion through song. Her eponymous album "Patty Griffin," released in 2019, is a testament to her enduring talent and thoughtful songcraft. The album, like much of her work, features a collection of deeply introspective songs that explore themes of life, loss, and resilience. With her profoundly personal lyrical narratives and her ability to blend folk, gospel, and blues elements, Patty Griffin has not only garnered wide critical acclaim, but she has also influenced a generation of singer-songwriters. Her soul-stirring compositions, such as "River" and "Where I Come From," continue to resonate with audiences, and her works, including "Servant of Love," reflect a committed artist who explores the depths of human experience with grace and authenticity.
