Patty Larkin & Lucy Kaplansky

Two legendary singer-songwriters, Patty Larkin & Lucy Kaplinsky make for a potent double bill at The Spire Center on October 17. Patty Larkin (pictured below, left) , a founding member of Four Bitchin’ Babes, has been described as “riveting” (Chicago Tribune), “hypnotic” (Entertainment Weekly), and a “drop-dead brilliant” performer (Performing Songwriter), Patty has captured audiences for over 30 years with an imagination, enchantment, and technical artistry that has redefined the boundaries of the guitar driven singer songwriter.

Lucy Kaplansky is an acclaimed singer songwriter of rare talent, who, along with Dar Williams and Richard Shindell formed the folk group Cry, Cry, Cry. She’s been called “a truly gifted performer with a bag full of enchanting songs” (The New Yorker) and “the troubadour laureate of modern city folk” (The Boston Globe). National Public Radio’s Scott Simon called her most recent album Last Days of Summer “Absolutely wonderful….utterly beautiful and affecting… Lucy sings songs from her life with resonance in ours.”
