Patti Shaffner

BEST Headshot

Patti Shaffner has been performing in music and theater since 1988 in and around Northwest Indiana but as far away as the Big Island of Hawaii. She is a dynamic performer, making a solid connection to the audience with a naturally engaging stage presence. Her genres range from Folk and Jazz to Blues and Musical Theater and she moves with ease between them. Her lyrics are thought provoking and her songwriting has garnered awards including First Place - Singer/Songwriter in the Great American Song Contest 2015. She also is active in Circle Singing, a textless form of improvisational singing and has led circles for high school choirs and community programs; having been mentored by Bobby McFerrin and Mistress of Improv Singing, Rhiannon. She performs with SongSisters as well as solo, joined by her husband David Cowan and with Jazz Trios when the occasion arises.
