Patty Tutty is best known as a singer of traditional songs.  Her repertoire encompasses ancient ballads, songs from a woman's perspective, songs with a twist, and songs about the world around us.  In her performances she includes some contemporary songs (mostly those that sound like they're old) and plays a few tunes on fiddle or anglo-concertina, but she is known best for the driving rhythm of her fretted dulcimer. Born and raised on the Canadian Prairies, she has toured extensively in Canada, performing at folk clubs, house concerts and folk festivals. Working with such renowned producers as Ian Tamblyn, David Essig and Ken Hamm, Paddy has released five recordings on her independent label Prairie Druid Music.
 

Singing songs that tell stories of women and men who predate the dreams of the prairie settlers, Paddy Tutty's music has a quality of magic in it that reminds the fields themselves of their former glory. Her voice guides the strings of her guitar and dulcimer and sets off the punchiness of her concertina playing through tales of passion, words of warning, and incantations for the finest of rains and sunniest of days. - The Gravelbourg Tribune
