Two close collaborators from the “On A Winter’s Night” Reunion Tour come to Rockport! Patty Larkin, renowned for her guitar prowess and poignant songwriting, continues to build upon 30-plus years making boundary-pushing folk-urban pop music. She joins Lucy Kaplansky, a Billboard-charting performer of country, folk and pop.
She has redefined the boundaries of folk-urban pop music with her inventive guitar wizardry and uncompromising lyrics and vocals. Described as “riveting” (Chicago Tribune) and “hypnotic” (Entertainment Weekly), Patty Larkin has captured audiences for over 30 years with her imagination and technical artistry. In her 14th release Bird in a Cage, she mines the intersection of poetry and song, featuring ten notable poets, including five US Poet Laureates, for an innovative and haunting musical collection. Poems are made to be shared aloud, and with Bird, Patty takes up that tradition and sets it aglow. Recent projects include Still Green, written in a national seashore dune shack and 25, a retrospective of duets with 25 friends, including Shawn Colvin, Bruce Cockburn. Her songs have been covered by Cher and featured in films: Evolution, Random Hearts, and Sliding Doors. She is the recipient of an Honorary Doctorate of Music from Berklee College of Music.
“A truly gifted performer…full of enchanting songs” (New York Times). Blending country, folk and pop styles, Lucy has the unique ability to make every song sound fresh, whether singing her own sweet originals, covering country classics by June Carter Cash and Gram Parsons, or singing pop favorites by Lennon/McCartney and Nick Lowe. Lucy’s iconic voice has been featured in film and on television, including commercials like Chevrolet’s iconic “Heartbeat of America” jingle. A Billboard-charting singer and one of the top-selling artists on Red House Records, she has topped the folk and Americana radio charts and has been featured on shows throughout the world from NPR’s Weekend and Morning Editions to BBC Radio to CBS Sunday Morning. One of the most in-demand harmony singers, Lucy has sung on countless records, performing with Suzanne Vega, Bryan Ferry, Nanci Griffith, and Shawn Colvin.
