Musical troubadour Patty Larkin has been redefining the boundaries of folk-urban pop music for more than 20 years with her inventive guitar wizardry and uncompromising vocals and lyrics. Acoustic Guitar hails “her soundscape experiments” while Rolling Stone praises her “evocative vocals, and subtle sonic shading.” She has been described as “riveting” (Chicago Tribune), “hypnotic” (Entertainment Weekly) and “drop-dead brilliant” (Performing Songwriter).

Patty Larkin has always prided herself in her creative approach to music. Now she has fans and fellow artists poised at the ready for her most recent endeavor, her intimate, gritty portrait of an artist in full stride, Watch The Sky (Vanguard Records 2008)

In another recent project, La Guitara: Gender Bending Strings, Patty finds herself at the helm, producing this extraordinary compilation chronicling women’s contribution to the evolution of the modern guitar. The Washington Post applauds saying “Patty Larkin and other pickers shine on La Guitara…an anthology of 14 brilliant guitar performances”. The 2007/08 La Guitara tour features Patty, Mimi Fox and Rory Block.
