Patty Griffin Releasing New Studio Album Feb 6th

ATO Records has announced the release of the fifth studio album by Grammy nominated singer/ songwriter great Patty Griffin. Entitled, "Children Running Through," the album will be released on February 6th. On the road for a mini tour at the end of January and into February, the highlight will be on release day when she performs an exclusive, full-band show at the gorgeous Angel Orensanz Center on New York’s Lower East Side in association with the Artists Den (http://www.theartistsden.com). A full tour will begin in March and go into April, with more legs to be announced throughout the year.

On May 9th, the Atlantic Theater Company will premiere a new musical set to Griffin’s music. The play was produced by Tom Hulce and was written by Keith Bunin.

On "Children Running Through," Griffin’s seamless songcraft is supported by spare, spacious arrangements and production by Griffin along with Mike McCarthy (Spoon) that emphasize her effortlessly eloquent lyrics, her subtly indelible melodies and her sublimely expressive voice, while making judicious use of such sonic frills as horns and strings.

"I just wanted to write from the heart and let it be," Griffin says of the project. "Some of the most beautiful music I’ve ever heard is when you catch somebody singing to themselves. I wanted to make music that had that feeling."

The dates for the mini tour are below:

January 27 and 28 Chicago, IL Schuba’s
January 30 Boston, MA Lizard Lounge
February 4 Charleston, WV Mountain Stage
February 6 New York, NY Angel Orenzanz Center
February 9 Philadelphia, PA World Café Live
February 13 Los Angeles, CA Hotel Café
February 17 Birmingham, AL Venue tbc
