“Community Supported for over 20 years, Diane has remained true to her roots, and her giving nature only deepens with time. From festivals to house concerts Diane shows up and performs her amazing original works.”

Patterson made her first studio recording with The Heat in 1991, released a CD called Live at The Palms in ’95 with the Diane Patterson Sextet, followed in 2005 by a fantastic political and not-so-political solo folk original album called Hip the Hip. 2007, 8 & 9 brought Pachamama is Rising, Sweden Session, and Sacred Sound, all available as homespun discs, from Diane. The dream-come-true full length studio album, World Awake was born at the end of 2010. December 2011 birthed Holy Days of Winter, an EP of songs and vids to the season. 2013 brought the latest, Build a Bridge. Patterson’s currently recording and mixing a new CD called Teach, Inspire, Be Real, which will accompany her 2016 Tours in the US, Europe & Scandinavia.. Below is an archive of some of the amazing shows and places where Diane has been performing in recent years. If you would like to support this amazing artist, contact Diane and let’s just see how you can get involved!

*********All of these Northwest Tour shows need sponsorship and have soooooo much to give.

We will be working in a sweet model of collaboration for our times, honoring those who grow our food by visiting farms; honoring the wisdom of nature and indigenous people by studying permaculture and its applied value in our cultural shifts from petroleum dependence; and honoring the Gulf waters with our prayers, and with our visions and practices of self-reliance and care of our beautiful, blue Mother Earth.

Please consider sponsoring our tour, or a date on the tour, or putting us in contact with someone who would like to do so.
