Patty Larkin is part of the urban-folk and pop music phenomenon that spun off of the singer-songwriter explosion of the seventies.  A self described “guitar driven songwriter,” Larkin has wound her way through soundscapes of evocative vocals, inventive guitar wizardry and imaginative lyrics.  Her songs reflect a lyrical spectrum that comprises a rich diversity from impressionistic poetry to witty wordplay.

Larkin grew up in a musical and artistic family in Milwaukee, Wisc. Descended from a long line of Irish American singers and taletellers, her mother was a painter, her sisters both musicians. She learned at a young age to appreciate the beauty and magic of the arts.

Last year Larkin released a collection of 25 love songs in celebration of 25 years in the recording industry appropriately titled 25. She reworked 25 of her favorite songs in an acoustic, “unplugged” release, joined by friends along the way. Guest artists include Shawn Colvin, Suzanne Vega, Bruce Cockburn, Mary Chapin Carpenter and others.

Larkin has long been redefining the boundaries of folk-urban pop music with her inventive guitar wizardry and uncompromising vocals and lyrics. Acoustic Guitar hails her “soundscape experiments” while Rolling Stone praises her “evocative and subtle sonic shading.” She has been described as “riveting” (Chicago Tribune), “hypnotic” (Entertainment Weekly) and a “drop-dead brilliant” performer (Performing Songwriter).

Flagpole Radio Café Producer Martin Blanco remarked, “Our last three shows have been impacted by extraordinary weather. We are looking forward to having our next show impacted by an extraordinary artist. Whether through her singing, original music, distinctive guitar playing, or her entire performance persona, you are certain to be captivated by Patty Larkin.”

Now in its fourth season, The Flagpole Radio Café, is an engaging show created by Jim Allyn, Martin Blanco and Barbara Gaines in conjunction with Newtown Cultural Arts Commission. It features music by Mr Allyn and The Flagpole Radio Café Orchestra, a dynamic ensemble created for the show, and radio style comedy sketches by the Flagpole Shakespeare Repertory Theatre. Each show also features a musical guest artist such as Jonathan Edwards, Tom Chapin, Peter Yarrow, Ramblin’ Jack Elliot, Christine Lavin, Roger Ball of The Average White Band, and Yale’s internationally acclaimed male choir The Whiffenpoofs.
