Patty Griffin concert review
Town Hall in New York (NYC), US
Thu, 05 Jun 2014

Patty was really great last night... she sang songs from all the way back from "Living with Ghosts" days right through now, and all the albums were represented. The first person that I saw perform in 1997 in the USA when I moved here, was Patty Griffin, supporting Shawn Colvin, and I have seen her change and grow over the years, and have loved every nuance of where her career has taken her. The confidence she had on stage last night is well earned. Her version of "Flaming Red" was great... starting out bluesy and slow and then tearing it up into the rocker we know. Anyone who has enjoyed any aspect of her music will have something to love in this show. Her band (just 3 musicians plus her) created a sound much bigger than one would expect from such a small group, and were all brilliant. Additionally, her choice of Parker Millsap as the support act was a great decision. He is a talented young fellow that has an incredibly bright future ahead of him. Check him out too.
