Description: From West Side Folk: 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). The Boston Globe says “Larkin transmits eccentric magic with taut, amused gems delivered in a rich alto” and calls her “an uncommonly articulate guitarist” while the New York Times tabs her as “A virtuoso guitar player and mood-shaper… She is also a superb slide guitarist whose mature work is comparable to the best of Bonnie Raitt and Lucinda Williams.
