DATE CHANGE: Patty Griffin, Robbie Fulks

Patty Griffin
A soulful singer and sterling songwriter — covered by artists from Solomon Burke to Jeff Beck to The Chicks — Patty Griffin remains a must-hear artist any time there’s a tour stop or new album (most recently, the home recordings and demos collection Tape, in 2022). A more frequent visitor to Madison is Robbie Fulks, who is also adept at a wide range of musical styles and similarly brings songwriting savvy. It’s an unbeatable twin bill presented by True Endeavors, who will donate $1 from every ticket to the Harris-Walz campaign (and note, if you bought tickets early, this show is now a day earlier than originally scheduled, to avoid a schedule conflict with the Harris-Trump debate on Sept. 10).

This is a General Admission – All Seated Show. Tickets: $39.50; Gold Circle: $59.50. Gold Circle includes early entry and preferred seating.
The Patty Griffin/Robbie Fulks show scheduled for Tuesday, September 10, is now rescheduled for Monday, September 9, to make room for the historic debate between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump on September 10. In addition, True Endeavors will be donating $1 from each ticket sold to the Harris/Walz campaign. All other show details remain the same. If you have already purchased tickets, your tickets are still good for the new date. If you are unable to attend the new date, you can initiate a refund by emailing the theatre at barrymore@barrymorelive.com or call the Barrymore during office hours, noon to 5pm, Monday through Friday, at 608-241-8633.
Patty Griffin is among the most consequential singer-songwriters of her generation, a quintessentially American artist whose wide-ranging canon incisively explores the intimate moments and universal emotions that bind us together. Over the course of two decades, the GRAMMY® Award winner – and 7x nominee – has crafted a remarkable body of work in progress that prompted the New York Times to hail her for “writing cameo-carved songs that create complete emotional portraits of specific people…her songs have independent lives that continue in your head when the music ends.”
2019 saw the acclaimed release of the renowned artist’s 10th studio recording and first-ever eponymous LP, PATTY GRIFFIN, on her own PGM Recordings label via Thirty Tigers. An extraordinary new chapter and one of the most deeply personal recordings of Griffin’s remarkable two-decade career, the album collects songs written during and in the aftermath of a time in which she battled – and ultimately defeated – cancer just as a similar and equally insidious disease metastasized into the American body politic. As always, Griffin’s power lies in how, as writer Holly Gleason observed in Martha’s Vineyard Gazette, “her songs seem to freeze life and truth in amber.”
