Patty Larkin & Lucy Kaplansky

This special evening features two full solo sets — one from Patty Larkin and one from Lucy Kaplansky — followed by a collaborative closing set where these longtime friends and acclaimed songwriters share the stage together. Patty Larkin is a visionary singer-songwriter whose work lives at the intersection of guitar mastery, poetic storytelling, and emotional depth. Hailed as “riveting” by the Chicago Tribune and “drop-dead brilliant” by Performing Songwriter, she has spent over three decades redefining what guitar-driven songwriting can be, blending technical brilliance with soul-forward vocals and deeply imaginative lyrics With eleven studio albums and multiple live recordings, Larkin’s catalog reflects a fearless curiosity and a devotion to craft. Her acclaimed project Bird in a Cage sets poems by celebrated writers, including U.S. Poet Laureates, to music, creating a haunting, luminous conversation between words and melody Whether performing intimate solo sets or richly layered compositions, Patty Larkin’s live shows are immersive, inventive, and quietly breathtaking—inviting listeners into a space where song, story, and sound unfold with rare grace. Lucy Kaplansky is a rare vocal talent, "a truly gifted performer...full of enchanting songs" (New York Times). Blending country, folk and pop styles, she has the unique ability to make every song sound fresh. One of the most in-demand harmony singers, Lucy has sung on countless records, performing with Suzanne Vega, Bryan Ferry, Nanci Griffith and Shawn Colvin. "New York songwriter Lucy Kaplansky is becoming the troubador laureate of modern city folk." - Boston Globe
