In her new concert, Patti LuPone: A Life in Notes, the three-time Tony Award winner performs an array of songs which do just that — songs that are touchstones and reflections on her life growing up in America — from a young girl during the burgeoning rock and roll scene of the fifties, to coming of age in the politically and socially turbulent sixties, to eventually achieving success with both career and family.

They have always been indefinable in terms of music genres, producing sounds of country-rock and electric bluegrass all on the same record; writing lyrics both whimsical and poetic and singing harmonies that would send shivers up your spine.

The Daredevils’ formal beginning as a band was in Springfield, Missouri in 1971 and included musicians Larry Lee, Steve Cash, Michael Supe Granda, John Dillon, Buddy Brayfield and Randle Chowning. In the beginning they called themselves the Family Tree, then Burlap Socks, and then the Emergency Band. But finally, in a nod to Commander Cody who was one of their musical heroes, they settled on the catchy moniker of Cosmic Corncob & His Amazing Ozark Mountain Daredevils — The Ozark Mountain Daredevils, for short.

She began writing songs at an early age and launched her first solo album in 2002. Throughout her nearly 20-year career she has been part of countless musical projects and among her most popular songs are “En el 2000,” “Un derecho de nacimiento,” “Hasta la Raíz,” “Nunca es suficiente,” “Tú sí sabes quererme” and “De todas las flores,” among others.

In her last 2017-2020 tour she offered nearly 250 concerts in Mexico, North American, Latin America and Europe. She gave two unprecedented tours of historically significant theaters throughout the Mexican territory. She has performed in national and international festivals as well as iconic venues like Lincoln Center in New York City, Koko in London and the Bataclán in Paris. She has appeared on well-known U.S. television and radio programs such as Austin City Limits, NPR’s “Tiny Desk Concerts” and “Live from Here” with Chris Thile.

Her unique style reflects a constant exploration within pop, jazz and Mexican/Latin American folklore. She has participated in prominent events, from Person of the Year by the Latin Recording Academy and performances at the Academy Awards, Grammy Awards and the Goya Awards.
