Patti Witten is no stranger to twists of fate. A self-taught guitarist with a background in classical music, she played as a sideman on alto flute and rhythm guitar in local bands through the 1980s. But Patti quit the bands and bars after the untimely death of her husband and music partner in 1990. For nearly a decade Patti worked as a graphic artist and book illustrator while her guitar gathered dust. The hiatus ended when, searching for solace during the collapse of her second marriage and the aftermath of her father's sudden death, she picked up her guitar and began to write. Fate stepped in once more — on the merits of a homemade audition tape she was invited to join in a songwriting workshop led by Rosanne Cash. Patti had finally found her voice as a songwriter.
Over the next few years Patti's accomplishments grew quickly with the release of three independent CDs — from Grand Prize in the Great American Song Contest, shows from Seattle to NYC, the honor of having her album liner notes written by Cash, to TV and film placements and radio play nationwide and in Europe.
But fate was not through with Patti. Disillusioned with the life of a touring musician she would nearly call it quits in 2005. Ironically, once freed from the expectations Patti began work on the songs that would become her new album, Tell the Wind."Patti Witten's new album Tell The Wind deserves an A." -PERFORMING SONGWRITER MAGAZINE
