(COLLINGSWOOD, NJ) — The Scottish Rite Auditorium hosts An Evening with Patty Griffin & Kathleen Edwards<\/a> on Friday, July 17, 2026 at 8:00pm. The concert is presented by the Camden County Board of Commissioners.<\/p>\n

Patty Griffin<\/a> 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.<\/p>\n

\n

Over two decades, the 2x GRAMMY\u00ae Award winner \u2013 and 7x nominee \u2013 and Americana Music Association Lifetime Achievement award winner, has crafted a remarkable body of work in progress that prompted the New York Times to hail her for \u201c[writing] cameo-carved songs that create complete emotional portraits of specific people\u2026[her] songs have independent lives that continue in your head when the music ends.\u201d\u201d<\/p>\n

Griffin\u2019s new album, Crown of Roses, is a deeply personal and introspective work that explores themes of identity, nature, family, and womanhood. Emerging from a creative drought during the pandemic, Griffin found herself re-evaluating the stories she\u2019d long told herself. The result is an eight-track collection that is both sparse and emotionally rich, blending folk, Americana, and blues.<\/p>\n

With Crown of Roses, Griffin offers a record that\u2019s both grounded and transcendent \u2014 one that invites listeners to release old narratives, embrace new truths, and stay truly alive while they\u2019re here. Having crafted a rich catalog that chronicles love and death, heartache and joy, connection and detachment, Patty Griffin continues to push her art forward, as always imbuing every effort with compassion and craft, uncanny perception, and ever- increasing ingenuity.<\/p>\n

Acclaimed singer, songwriter and performer Kathleen Edwards<\/a> returned with her\u00a0new album, Billionaire, released in 2025\u00a0on Dualtone Records. Evoking her debut, Failer, the 10-song album is full of Edwards\u2019 trademark lyrical sharpness and unflinching observations and was produced by Jason Isbell and Gena Johnson.<\/p>\n

\n

Celebrated as one of the forebears of modern alt-country and Americana music, Edwards is beloved by fans and fellow musicians, and praised by The New York Times for her, \u201cdroll, observant and unsparing tone that is all her own. In her best lines, Edwards has the conversational vernacular and emotional eloquence of a great short-story writer.\u201d<\/p>\n

Since debuting in 2003, Edwards has released five albums, including 2020\u2019s Total Freedom \u2014 her first after stepping away from music for almost a decade. Released to overwhelming acclaim with pieces at The New Yorker, The New York Times, Rolling Stone and more, Pitchfork called it, \u201ca creative breakthrough, written solely for the thrill of discovery,\u201d while Rolling Stone declared it as, \u201cdevastatingly great.\u201d Most recently, Edwards released a covers EP featuring special guests Isbell, Bahamas and Daniel Tashian and including renditions of Isbell\u2019s \u201cTraveling Alone,\u201d Bruce Springsteen\u2019s \u201cHuman Touch,\u201d The Flaming Lips\u2019 \u201cFeeling Yourself Disintegrate,\u201d Tom Petty\u2019s \u201cCrawling Back To You\u201d and more. She has been nominated for multiple JUNO and Americana Awards and, in 2012, was awarded the SOCAN Songwriting Prize.<\/p>\n
