Hi all, I haven't seen this info posted yet, but from what a knowledgable source tells me, the Austin City Limits songwriter installment featuring Patty, The Millers, Emmy Lou Harris, etc will begin broadcasting nationally on PBS stations on Saturday May 6th. Check local PBS listings for times & availability in your particular area. Also, I'm interested in trading live Patty recordings again after being out of the loop for awhile. If you've recorded any shows this year, get in touch. Also looking for the 2nd night (11/22) at The Fez last November. I think I recall someone mentioning they recorded this one. Many high quality Patty recordings from 1991-1999 to trade.

Wow, this is only my second post! I can't believe it! I guess it's because I've made some friends on this list who are great with giving me information! (Thanks guys!) Anyway, the point of this post is to ask for a list of folk-rock singers (preferably those with CDs out). Obviously, Patty Griffin, Patti Smith, etc..but any others would be nice. The reason is for an article for a magazine I write for. I'm doing an article on..you guessed it..female folk-rock singers. (I know many of you don't consider Patty part of this group...) Brings me to another , do you mind if I include your name in the article? Thanks everyone!

I just got word that my article on folk-rock was accepted! It will be published on Kiwibox.com (an online magazine geared towards teens..what can I say, I wanted journalism experience)! Probably next month. Unfortunately, the lists of the many great singers you guys so nicely sent me didn't get sent in time :( I used a very short list instead. Thanks so much for your help! Here's the story incase you are interested: ______________________________________________________________________ Women in Folk-Rock Britney Spears, Mandy Moore, Hoku. All of these popular female artists of today seem to shine forever in the spotlight. Their lyrics and music are adored and admired by millions. Unfortunately, their "pop" music isn't the number one choice for many music lovers out there. For those looking for a more "down-to-earth" female genre of tunes, perhaps the lesser known folk-rock is more your style. Folk-rock is defined as a variety of popular music combining elements of rock 'n' roll and folk music. Masters of the music include Patty Griffin, Ani DiFranco, Patti Smith, Darcie Miner, and perhaps the most famous, Jewel Kilcher, just to name a few. All these women write lyrics with passion and expertise. From song topics ranging from love to poverty, each tells an unforgettable story. Folk music is not just a singer expressing her stories in song. A big part is the music itself. While the main instrument in the genre is acoustic guitar, it can range anywhere from the soft sound of the piano to the shrill sound of the electric guitar. The variety of the sound is what gives the appeal to many folk-rock fans. Admirers also love the natural sound of the music, compared to that of the computerized creations in much of recent pop culture. Of course, folk music isn't only limited to the female voice. Their male counterparts include Steve Poltz, The Byrds, and the illustrious Bob Dylan. Many of these artists have lived the test of time and have continued to sing for decades. The power of folk-rock is overwhelming to many of its fans. It can make music your life, and if it doesn't do that, it will surely at least make an impression. For those who haven't yet heard this sound, don't worry, it will be around for a long time to come. Thanks again!
