Patty Larkin is a visionary of sound and wonder—a real-deal artist made of equal parts guitar wizardry, vocals shot through with soul, and inventive lyrics from the heart. Described as “riveting” (Chicago Tribune), “hypnotic” (Entertainment Weekly), and a “drop-dead brilliant” performer (Performing Songwriter), Larkin has captured audiences for more than 30 years with an imagination, enchantment, and technical artistry that has redefined the boundaries of the guitar-driven singer-songwriter.

Dining

Fresh seasonal meals, grab-and-go items like chips and cookies, beer, wine, signature drinks, and soft drinks are available for purchase at the concert starting when doors open.
