Patty Griffin: Profile of a Performing Artist (Video)

patty-profilePart of Royal Stewart Entertainment’s Profile of a Performing Artist Series (see here). Directed by Tracie Goudie. As noted at the RSE site:

Grammy nominated and NPR favorite singer/songwriter Patty Griffin is featured in this Profile. Her lyrics speak of life’s hopes and dreams and her fans need include some of industry superstars such as the Dixie Chicks ,Bette Midler and Emmylou Harris…But it’s Patty Griffin’s own voice that is in the spotlight now, nominated for a 2005 Grammy, for her hit CD, Impossible Dream…

Your audience will learn how this singer’s formal education ended after high school in a Maine mill town, raised in a house too small for nine children. Her love for singing is a result of hearing her mother sing as she worked in their vegetable garden. …from a waitress in Florida to a switchboard operator at Harvard, her dreary jobs inspired the stories that came to be songs….

Every song has a story, …and life’s everyday journey, becomes a heartwarming song of life….

Patty Griffin is the song within all of us.
