Patty Griffin | Duke Arts at American Tobacco

Two-time GRAMMY® Award–winning songwriter Patty Griffin is one of the most beloved voices in American folk and Americana. For more than two decades, she has written songs that capture the small moments and big emotions that shape everyday life.

The New York Times praised Griffin for writing “cameo-carved songs that create complete emotional portraits,” a quality that has made her work widely recorded and deeply influential. Her 2019 self‑titled album earned the GRAMMY® for Best Folk Album, and the Americana Music Association later honored her with a Lifetime Achievement Award for Songwriting.

Griffin’s songs stay with listeners long after the music ends.
