A remarkable guitarist, incisive songwriter, richly textured singer, and hilarious performer all rolled into one, Patty Larkin rivets audiences with her uncompromising, poetic songs full of wordplay and painterly detail. Born in Iowa and raised in Milwaukee, Patty studied at the Berklee College of Music and launched her career in Boston in the late 1980s. Playing the subways and streets and in a succession of rock, jazz, and folk bands before striking out on her own, Patty has steadily developed and expanded her talent, pulling ever-growing hordes of fans along with her for the ride.

A string of superb albums like Angels Running and Red=Luck attest to Patty's continuing evolution as a witty and passionate explorer of the intersection between folk and pop music, and have won her critical acclaim and an unprecedented number of Boston Music Awards. Patty's new CD, 25 (Signature Sounds), is currently gaining attention for its reworkings of 25 love songs by musical friends including Shawn Colvin, Bruce Cockburn, and David Wilcox.
