Singletary Center Signature Series Presents Patty Griffin, Sara Watkins and Anaïs Mitchell
LEXINGTON, Ky. (Feb. 8, 2016) — The University of Kentucky Singletary Center for the Arts will present three celebrated songwriters on stage together for one night only. Patty Griffin, Sara Watkins and Anaïs Mitchell will perform in concert at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 20.
In a critically acclaimed career spanning over 20 years, Grammy Award-winner Patty Griffin has established one of the strongest and most inimitable voices in contemporary folk music. In addition to being an incredible vocalist, Griffin is also an accomplished songwriter, having written songs for artists including Mary Chapin Carpenter, Martina McBride, Emmylou Harris, Joan Osborne, Kelly Clarkson and Miranda Lambert. Singer and multi-instrumentalist Sara Watkins, first praised for her work as a founding member of Grammy Award-winning Nickel Creek, has since established a solo career including highly acclaimed studio albums and collaborations with artists such as John Mayer and The Decemberists. Widely known as “the Queen of Modern Folk Music,” Anaïs Mitchell is first and foremost a storyteller. A Vermont-based singer-songwriter, Mitchell’s musical style, sound, and performance have led her to be compared to Bob Dylan, Leonard Cohen, and Gillian Welch.
For one night only, enjoy three of America’s finest songwriters on stage as Griffin, Watkins and Mitchell join together for a very special evening of music. Presented as a “songwriters-in-the-round” concert, all three of these noted performers will share songs and stories for an intimate and unforgettable evening.
