| Biography |
Patty Griffin was on March 16, 1964, in Old Town, Maine. She is the youngest of seven children and was born into a family of singers. Patty bought her first guitar at the age of 16, and it was around that same that she began to write her own songs. However, it was quite a while before she started to perform with her self-engineered band, Patty and the Executives, in 1980.
It wasn’t until 1992 in Boston that Patty Griffin started accumulating gigs to show off her music prowess. But when she finally did start performing, Boston music lovers quickly turned in her favor, and before she knew it, she was amassing music gigs all over Boston.
Patty’s success led to a desire to take her music to the next level; she began recording a series of demos. Without the money to produce professionally recorded tapes, Patty recorded out of her apartment. Her demo tapes were regarded as being better than her performances by many, and the sharing of her tapes eventually led to her signing with a record label. |
