Patty Griffin
The flame-tressed alt-country singer, songwriter and guitarist may or may not be married to Robert Plant—the two share the same address in Texas, at least. But one thing’s certain: Griffin can belt her own songs with a fiery conviction to rival any of the superstars for whom she’s penned hits, including Emmylou Harris and the Dixie Chicks. 718-855-7882, bricartsmedia.org/cb.
