Atmospheric, slow sad music - to bring people a bit of joy.

From Berlin. Now in London.

Climbing PoeTree harnesses creativity as the antidote to destruction through their award-winning poetry, boundary-breaking music, and multimedia hip hop. Co-creators Alixa Garcia and Naima Penniman have independently organized more than 30 national and international tours, taking their work from South Africa to Cuba, the UK to Mexico, and throughout the U.S. including 11,000 miles toured on a bus converted to run on recycled vegetable oil.

Climbing PoeTree has stirred crowds at diverse venues from the Brooklyn Academy of Music to the United Nations, Harvard University to Rikers Island Prison. They have been featured alongside powerhouses such as Alicia Keys, Erykah Badu, Little Dragon, Talib Kweli, Goapele, Rising Appalachia, T.I., Dead Prez, and Angela Davis, who writes:

"Each time I have the pleasure of attending a performance by Climbing PoeTree, I feel
enriched, renewed, and inspired. Alixa and Naima insist that poetry can change the world—and it is true that the urgency, power and beauty of their words impel us to keep striving for the radical futures toward which they gesture."

Award-winning songwriter, Folkgoddess Diane Patterson 
subverts the dominant paradigm with rocking acoustic guitar and ukulele, 
a mighty pen, and a woman's voice, since 1989. 

Diane’s been performing at festivals and venues since 1991, beginning with co-fronting a world music band in Davis, then starting the award-winning Diane Patterson Sextet with three fellow songwriters and two percussionists,
followed by 13 years of solo, duo, and trio work, mainly with Al Torre on guitar.

This February 2018 Diane released a fantastic new CD, Open Road, with gold record-producer Mike "Nappy" Napolitano. Featuring supporting vocals and instrumentation by none other than Ani DiFranco, Open Road is also graced by Al Torre, Alice DiMicele, Terrence Higgins, Todd Sickafoose, and more.

Patterson has also published five other solo CDs:  Teach, Inspire, Be Real (2016), Build a Bridge (2013), Holy Days of Winter (2011), World Awake (2010), and Hip the Hip (2005).

But even more healing and delightful is to hear Diane play live. Call her support team at (214) 676-719nine to book a house concert, venue or festival near you.
