Patty Griffin
Patty Griffin is among the most consequential singer-songwriters of her generation, a quintessentially American artist whose wide-ranging canon incisively explores the intimate moments and universal emotions that bind us together.
Over two decades, the two-time GRAMMY® Award winner—and seven-time nominee—and Americana Music Association Lifetime Achievement award winner, has crafted a remarkable body of work in progress that prompted The New York Times to hail her for “cameo-carved songs that create complete emotional portraits of specific people…songs have independent lives that continue in your head when the music ends.” Having crafted a rich catalog that chronicles love and death, heartache and joy, connection and detachment, Patty Griffin continues to push her art forward, as always imbuing every effort with compassion and craft, uncanny perception, and ever-increasing ingenuity.
Kathleen Edwards
Acclaimed singer, songwriter, and performer Kathleen Edwards returns with her highly anticipated new album, Billionaire, on Dualtone Records. Evoking her debut, Failer, the new 10-song album is full of Edwards' trademark lyrical sharpness and unflinching observations and was produced by Jason Isbell and Gena Johnson.
Celebrated as one of the forebears of modern alt-country and Americana music, Edwards is beloved by fans and fellow musicians, and praised by The New York Times for her "droll, observant and unsparing tone that is all her own. In her best lines, Edwards has the conversational vernacular and emotional eloquence of a great short-story writer."
