An Evening with Patty Griffin and Todd Snider

Patty Griffin is among the most consequential singer-songwriters of her generation. Over the course of two decades, the GRAMMY® Award-winner, and 7-time nominee, has crafted a remarkable body of work in progress that prompted The New York Times to hail her for “writing cameo-carved songs that create complete emotional portraits of specific people… her songs have independent lives that continue in your head when the music ends.” Griffin has had her work performed by a truly epic assortment of her fellow artists, among them Linda Ronstadt, Emmylou Harris, Solomon Burke, Kelly Clarkson, Jeff Beck, and numerous others. Her songs have also been showcased in a variety of film, TV, and theatre projects.

Todd Snider is undeniably one of the greatest songwriters of his generation, as attested by legends like John Prine, Loretta Lynn, Kris Kristofferson, Jerry Jeff Walker, Billy Joe Shaver and Guy Clark. But Snider is so much more than the lovable, lazy-ass stoner yodeler he appears to be. Did you know his memoir is a best-seller, which makes him a best-selling author — let that sink in. He’s had an accomplished film career, as well. Did you know Snider’s song “Just Like Old Times” inspired the film Hard Luck Love Song which stars some people you’ve heard of? The film even includes an on-screen performance of the song by Snider during the closing credits. He also starred in the independent feature film East Nashville Tonight. First and foremost, Snider remains one of America’s truly gifted storytellers. And if you’ve got tickets to see him live, boy, does he have a few songs and a few stories to share with you.
