About the Event

Award-winning  songwriter, Folkgoddess Diane Patterson subverts the dominant paradigm  with rocking acoustic guitar and ukulele, a mighty pen, and a woman's  voice. Since 1989, Patterson weaves her original Mystic Acoustic  Americana and unifying stories, planting seeds of love and realness.

Diane’s  new album, Satchel of Songs, was recorded last year in New Orleans with  platinum record-producer Mike Napolitano and features amazing  supporting musicians such as Terence Higgins, Todd Sickafoose, Barbara  Higbie, Joe Craven and Ani DiFranco. This season the folkgoddess also  debuts a music video for her 20-year-old song, Ballad of Big Mountain,  all filmed around the stunning Diné/Navajo lands.

Diane played  folk guitar in church as a kid in the 80’s, and now she tours winters in  Hawaii and summers in Scandinavia with songs that come from visions of  equality and passion for wild forests.  In April she returns to Sweden  and Denmark for a 2-month musical tour of small venues and living rooms,  followed by a September tour across the Midwestern United States.  She’ll be performing her Mystic Acoustic Americana music solo, which is a  powerful place for her to deliver from.
