Libby Kirkpatrick is an extremely powerful and
refreshingly original singer-songwriter and acoustic guitarist,
stunning audiences with her wide vocal range, serious command of
dynamics, award-winning lyrics and sailing voice. Growing up in
the suburbs of Philadelphia, Libby Kirkpatrick began playing classical
piano at age 3. At age 14, deeply moved by the musical era of singer-songwriters
in the 1970's, she switched to acoustic guitar while immersing herself
in the artistry of Joni Mitchell, Joan Armatrading, Neil Young and
Rickie Lee Jones. |
