Patty Griffin is an American Grammy award winning singer songwriter and musician. Known for her stripped down song writing style centred on the folk music genre, her songs have been covered by a host of musicians including Emmylou Harris, Ellis Paul, Rory Block and the Dixie Chicks.

In 2007, Griffin was the recipient of the American Music Association’s 'Artist of the year' award and her album Children Running Through, won for 'Best Album'.

Griffin made the Grammy Award-winning Downtown Church in 2010 and became a member of Band of Joy alongside Robert Plant.

Her name album 'American Kid' much of which Griffin says 'was written to honour my father,' returns to typical Patty Griffin territory, which is to say that it features a group of remarkably powerful, personal and unpredictable songs arranged and performed in a style that doesn’t entirely repeat anything she’s done on her previous albums while drawing on all of them. Yet Griffin’s catalogue is among the most unified in modern popular music, because her singing is as unmistakable and inimitable as her song writing.

Patty takes to the Sugar Club stage this November to preform her new album 'American Kid' along with her previous hits since her first album 'Children Running Through' in 2007.
