Patti Darbo, singer/songwriter/guitarist, hails from Winona, MN. As a second generation Finn who grew up on the Iron Range of northeastern Minnesota, Patti was raised on folk music and homespun stylings, playing flute and piccolo from a young age. Patti found her passion for songwriting in 1978 when her parents gave her a guitar as a Christmas present. Patti’s journey through life is chronicled in song. She performs regularly on riverboats on the Mississippi River and at civic, school and church events. Patti is a wife, mom of two sons, and a Winona Area Public School special education teacher.
