Ovation TV | Patty Griffin: Live from the Artists Den

Back



AT THE ANGEL ORENSANZ FOUNDATION IN NEW YORK Patty Griffin's new album, Children Running Through, was released on a bitterly cold winter day in New York City that turned into an even colder night, with temperatures dropping to 9 degrees Fahrenheit as devoted fans huddled together outside the Orensanz Foundation for the Arts for a chance to see Griffin perform songs from the album for the first time. Inside, the historic building's neo-gothic arches were lit with the warm glow of candlelight as Griffin stepped into the packed room to play a private Artists Den concert, celebrating her record's release and offering a sneak preview of her extensive spring tour. Griffin's crystal-clear voice filled the room with newly penned songs (a handwritten lyrics sheet sat perched on the piano when she took a break from her guitar to play it) as well as Griffin classics, accompanied by new band members and longtime players alike. A special treat on some songs was the addition of legendary keyboardist Ian McLagan (Small Faces, The Rolling Stones) -- who appeared for this night only -- and a 5-piece string section. At the end of the evening, the lucky audience walked back out into the biting cold braced with the warmth of an unforgettable night.

well, you could have turned it off, so don't worry so much about the minutes you have wasted on this vid, but worry about how your life might be affected by your stupidity for not realizing you didn't CHOOSE to just turn it OFF. LOLOL...what an idiot.

When I forget my love, I would like for someone kind to remind me ... thank you Patty Griffin.

I don't love Patty because of her talent. I was just attracted to her because of it. I love her because of her kindness and generousity, which comes out in the wonderful lyrics she writes. Her decency is what I love about her. In this world that rewards people for being cruel and crass, a woman like Patty Griffin is a real gem.

No disrespect intended to you or Patty Griffin, but there are many examples of great poets and artists whose work showed empathy and compassion, but who weren't very pleasant in person.

I get you. As an English major, I've come across those people. Plath, Pound, Bukowski. I guess there is just something special about people who can be brilliant artists and generous people at the same time.

I got to meet patty last year after a concert in North Carolina. She is the sweetest, most increadibly humble person you could ever meet. Her music really reflects who she truly is.
