About a year ago I saw one of the best shows I could have experienced. I’ve been a pretty big Patty Griffin fan for a while and it seemed like whenever I was in Vermont, she wasn’t playing there and when I was in Texas she was in Vermont. Then one day I saw that she was playing at the House of Blues in Dallas and I was ecstatic! Finally we were going to be in the same place at the same time!

 A magnificent singer, songwriter and performer, you would be crazy not to want to perform or record with her. If you think that you haven’t heard her before, I beg to differ. You probably did and didn’t even know it. She’s had her music on various tv shows and movies, see here including Grey’s Anatomy and One Tree Hill and Elizabethtown.  She has also played with countless artists on their albums. You can probably pull a few out randomly and see for yourself. Patty Griffin is someone who everyone wants to perform with, at least once and will be one of the highlights of their career. She is soulful. When she sings you cannot believe such a strong, powerful voice comes out of such a little lady. Patty Griffin plays through her emotions, you know exactly how she is feeling and she makes you feel the exact same way. No matter what you are experiencing, what you are going through, she will lift you up and show you that she is right there with you.

Who is Buddy Miller? I am kind of ashamed to say I wasn’t really sure of who he was when I first heard of the show. What a mistake. He is absolutely amazing. I would say that Buddy Miller is someone who you would find hanging out playing guitar on stage. He won’t jump out for the spotlight but as soon as you hear him play his guitar, your eyes will be glued. He is one of the best guitarists I have ever seen. Singer, songwriter, instrumentalist, her has performed with Julie Miller (his wife), Steve Earle, LeeAnn Womack, Lucinda Williams and most recently Alison Krauss and Robert Plant. He will absolutely blow you away. Buddy Miller is phenomenal on the guitar. During the show I remember thinking how I wish some of my friends were there to experience it with me. They would have just died. His performance will mezmorize you.

Classic, phenomenal Americana music. They will make you reminise, sing along and get up and dance. It’s something that all music lovers should experience. Most recently Patty Griffin and Buddy Miller have been touring with Robert Plant’s, Band of Joy. If you ever have the opportunity to see them perform, grab it. You will love every second!
