Nanci Griffith Bio
Nancy Griffith possesses a powerful gift for inhabiting the songs she sings. With a career spanning three decades, the singer and songwriter has evolved into a formidable interpreter of other people’s songs as well, demonstrated on such albums as the Grammy-winning Other Voices, Other Rooms.
Born in Austin, Texas, Griffith began performing at age 14. Her career blossomed in the late ‘70s and early ‘80s with the release her first two independent recordings, “There’s a Light Beyond These Woods” and “Poet in My Window.” Her “Last of the True Believers” was nominated for a Grammy in Contemporary Folk in 1986, and “Love at the Five and Dime” was nominated for Country Song of the Year for Kathy Mattea, who sang it.
Rolling Stone once described Griffith’s niche as a unique form of “folkability” music. She has penned some of country music’s most enduring compositions, including Emmylou Harris and Willie Nelson’s “Gulf Coast Highway.” Her band, the Blue Moon Orchestra, has performed with her since 1986.
