An Evening with Patty Griffin and Rickie Lee Jones

Join us for a rare double bill with two of America’s most distinctive and celebrated singer-songwriters.

About Patty Griffin

Patty Griffin is among the most consequential singer-songwriters of her generation. She’s a quintessentially American artist whose wide-ranging canon incisively explores the intimate moments and universal emotions that bind us.

Over two decades, the two-time Grammy winner (and recipient of the Americana Music Association Lifetime Achievement award) 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.”

Having crafted a rich catalogue that chronicles love and death, heartache and joy, connection and detachment, Griffin continues to push her art forward, imbuing every effort with compassion and craft, uncanny perception, and ever-increasing ingenuity.

About Rickie Lee Jones

Rickie Lee Jones is an American musician, storyteller, and two-time Grammy winner who has been inspiring pop culture for decades, beginning with her star-making self-titled debut, followed by the seminal Pirates.

Named “the premiere song-stylist and songwriter of her generation” by The New Yorker, and “The Duchess of Coolsville” by Time magazine, Jones’ latest album (the Grammy-nominated Pieces of Treasure) is a musical reunion with Russ Titelman, who produced her first two records.

Throughout her career, Jones has interpreted an extraordinary range of songs and recorded celebrated jazz-leaning albums including Girl at her Volcano and Pop Pop but, until now, she has never devoted an entire album to the American Songbook. “This album is as much about being human, the view of surviving — which means aging, and loving relentlessly — as it is about anything,” says Jones.

Her acclaimed memoir Last Chance Texaco is out now.
