About

Iconic singer-songwriter PATTY GRIFFIN has announced her highly anticipated return to Australia. Last here in 2008 for sold-out shows, the Texan performer has attracted a cult-following with her intimately passionate performance style, telling heartfelt stories with her vivid, powerful vocal.

“Patty Griffin is an absolute inspiration to every songwriter who’s fortunate enough to come across her music.” - Missy Higgins

“I would go anywhere, anytime to hear Patty Griffin sing her extraordinary songs.” - Emmylou Harris

Over the course of two decades, the GRAMMY Award-winner – and seven-time nominee – has crafted nine classic studio albums and two live collections, a remarkable body of work that prompted the New York Times to hail her for “[writing] cameo-carved songs that create complete emotional portraits of specific people…(her) songs have independent lives that continue in your head when the music ends.”

Widely regarded among the best singer-songwriters of her era, this year’s self-titled album, PATTY GRIFFIN collects songs written during her battle with cancer.

Chronicling love and death, heartache and joy, connection and detachment, Patty Griffin continues with her uncanny perception, and ever-increasing ingenuity. A starkly beautiful live show, the return of this pillar of Americana is not to be missed.

    Wanted to hear more classics

    by MH on 11/2/23Moore Theatre - Seattle

    I LOVE Patty Griffin! Well I guess I should say, I LOVE her classic stuff. I am not a fan of the music I heard at her most recent concert. She's an amazing singer/songwriter with so many talents....this just wasn't my jam.

    Kind of a Let Down.

    by MusicisLife on 11/1/23Moore Theatre - Seattle

    I went to this show because every song I've ever heard of hers sounds great, I was thinking it would be a sure thing, a terrific show. Humm. First, the band was great, the percussion especially was terrific. It was a very mellow show overall. The bummer was Patty's vocals... Well, she did say she had been sick... Her voice was off key and not very strong to me & not till very late in the show did she seem to sound better (I heard a patron nearby say, 'her voice sounds good on this one', so I surmise they were hearing what I was). The song I love most of hers, 'Heavenly Day' was wrecked to me, she was very weak on the vocals. The crowd was so sparse too, with many seats either unsold or no shows. Maybe word got out that Patty was not on her game. Many people also left early. To add frustration, there were some very loud (drunk?) girls who wooted & hollered like this was a big rock show. The overall demographic was older, so this was extremely unusual (especially for such a subdued show). It seemed wildly inappropriate for the style & vibe of the show (not to mention undeserving - to me). I was very disappointed in the performance & can't remember the last time I actually wanted to leave a live show. Alas, my partner didn't hear what I did & we stayed. Perhaps others enjoyed it too, it's just a matter of taste & what appeals to people.

    Disappointing*

    by Disappointed* on 11/1/23Moore Theatre - Seattle

    * the asterisk is for the opener. Hayes Carll. He is the reason we attended the concert and he most certainly did NOT disappoint. Patty on the other hand was not at all good. Her voice was too large for the venue. The way she mumbled through the lyrics was garbled and difficult (if I'm being polite) to understand. There were a few instances where one could tell she was going to get political - but thought better of it. The music was confusing. It seemed as if the trio were on the same page - but on different sentences. Or paragraphs, at times. After 4 songs, we could not stand it anymore and had to exit. We were NOT alone. I witnessed 4 people leaving after the 3rd song. 4th song Patty was on the piano. We left after that song. We witnessed at least 40 people exiting with us. Bring back Hayes. The cost of the ticket was well woth his set. Thank you.

    Something was way off with Patty

    by Ally on 11/1/23Moore Theatre - Seattle

    I’m a long-time fan of PG and have heard her before in concert, during the Downtown Church tour. She was amazing then. The concert on Oct 29, 2023 at the Moore Theater was a disaster. The drummer and guitarist were tight and amazing. But Patty’s vocals were about a half-step or more off key. My wife and I only made it through 4 songs because it was so painful to listen to. Patty mentioned she had a cold, so maybe she just couldn’t hear herself? I wanted so much to hang in there and have it get better, but just couldn’t. Hoping Patty is okay and that this was just a blip.

    Disappointing

    by DG on 11/1/23Moore Theatre - Seattle

    We’re big Patty fans but, along with many others, we left early. Some started leaving only a couple of songs in. Patty was drifting noticeably off-key A LOT, which is particularly tough for someone so known for her crystal clear vocals. She alluded to getting over a cold…don’t know how much that was a factor, or if it’s really a result of her cancer several years ago. Either way, we were left wondering if this was a one-off, or just the way things are going on this tour. If the latter, the team around her is really letting her (and her fans) down by letting it continue unchallenged. It would have been better to cancel the show, because she is clearly struggling. Venue was great, as was Hayes Carll, the opener!

    disappointing.

    by jet787 on 11/1/23Moore Theatre - Seattle

    I'm a big Patty Griffin fan and have been going to concerts since the 60's. This was probably the worst concert I have been to. Unfortunately, Patty couldn't carry a tune in a bucket. Mostly flat or just off key. There probably wasn't a note on pitch. It was painful and we left early. Just look at some of the videos taken and you will hear what I'm talking about. If you can't sing in tune, don't do live shows, we deserve better.

    Staff in the lobby and hallways were pounded than the snow

    by Pink Heron on 11/1/23Moore Theatre - Seattle

    I was in a balcony edge seat. It was frustrating trying to listen to the music, while the staff were talking loudly and laughing in the hallways and lobby area. Someone needs to let them know that their noise reaches up to the concert area. I’ve always loved the Moore, but will hesitate to go again because of this.

    Seating frustration

    by Techno on 11/1/23Moore Theatre - Seattle

    It was a good concert. Our only disappointment was in the seating. We splurged and bought the expensive front-row seats (Row A). When we got there, there was another row of chairs right in front of ours. Turns out that's what they consider "pit"seating, but there's no pit. Very disappointing, and deceptive, the way these front tickets are sold. Everybody in our row was surprised as well.

    I love Patty’s songs, old ones esp., Wish set lasted longer!

    by Pea-hen on 10/27/23Palace of Fine Arts - San Francisco

    I love Patty’s songs, old ones esp., also Hayes Carl was very good, his lyrics can flow! Sorry about Patty’s cold/ailment- I could hear it in some songs. Yet I really liked her energy on last couple of songs. Guitar sideman was phenomenal with so many sounds!! Wish the set lasted longer
