Los Angeles, CA (January 14, 2008) – Patty Griffin will be featured in an episode of “Live from the Artists Den,” the innovative new weekly music series on Ovation TV featuring acclaimed artists performing in extraordinary settings, Thursday, January 31 (8-9 p.m. ET/PT). The “Live from the Artists Den” series is presented by Ovation TV (www.OvationTV.com) and Grey Goose Entertainment (www.GreyGooseEntertainment.com).

The episode featuring Patty Griffin was filmed at a private Artists Den concert February 6, 2007 at the Angel Orensanz Foundation for the Arts, a historic converted synagogue on New York’s Lower East Side. The special show was a celebration of Griffin’s record release that day – the acclaimed Children Running Through (ATO Records) – and a chance for fans to see her perform songs from the new album for the first time. Griffin’s singular voice filled the candlelit, neo-gothic hall accompanied by new band members and longtime players alike. A special treat on some songs was the addition of legendary keyboardist Ian McLagan (Small Faces, The Rolling Stones) – who appeared for this night only – and a 5-piece string section. Children Running Through went on to win “Album of the Year” at the 2007 Americana Music Awards (in which Griffin was also named “Artist of the Year”) and is nominated for “Album of the Year” in the Contemporary Folk/Americana category of the upcoming 50th Grammy Awards.

Other artists and venues featured in the first season of “Live From The Artists Den” on Ovation TV include Josh Ritter at the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County; Crowded House at the Masonic Hall Grand Lodge in New York; Ben Harper on a 700-acre farm in Manchester, Tennessee at the 2007 Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival; Fountains of Wayne on a 100-year-old ship at New York’s South Street Seaport; The Swell Season (from the Fox Searchlight film Once) at the Good Shepherd Center Chapel in Seattle; and KT Tunstall at the Prince George Ballroom in Manhattan.

The Artists Den (www.theartistsden.com)has been presenting emerging and
established musicians in unique settings around the world since its inception in 2004.
The venture began as one music lover's vision of staging great live music in non-
traditional settings. Initially a series of intimate living room concerts, the Artists Den has expanded to include concerts across North America and Europe by some of today's most significant names in popular music, in venues as varied as Christie’s auction house in London, an abandoned warehouse in San Francisco, a private Southampton beach house and the diamond floor of Tiffany’s on Fifth Avenue.
