You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 54.175.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪JJMC89‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 05:35, 2 September 2025.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Patty Larkin''' (born June 19, 1951<ref>((Cite web|url=http://www.folklib.net/index/birth/birth_l.shtml#Larkin,Pt|title=FolkLib Index – Musician's Birthdays/Bibliography (L)|website=Folklib.net))</ref>) is an American singer-songwriter and guitarist based in [[Boston]], Massachusetts. She is a founding member of [[Four Bitchin' Babes]]. Her music has been described as folk-urban [[pop music]].

==Life and career==
Patty Larkin was born in [[Des Moines, Iowa]], United States, and grew up in a musical and artistic family in [[Milwaukee, Wisconsin]].<ref name="Larkin90">((cite book|title=[[Encyclopedia of Popular Music|The Virgin Encyclopedia of Nineties Music]]|editor=Colin Larkin|editor-link=Colin Larkin (writer)|publisher=[[Virgin Books]]|date=2000|edition=First|isbn=0-7535-0427-8|pages=226/7))</ref> Descended from a long line of Irish-American singers and storytellers, her mother was a painter and her sisters both musicians. She learned at a young age to appreciate the beauty and magic of the arts. She began classical piano studies at age 7, and became swept up in the sounds of pop and folk in the 1960s, teaching herself the guitar and experimenting with songwriting in high school. An English major, Larkin sang throughout her high school and college career, starting out in coffeehouses in Oregon and San Francisco. Upon graduation from the [[University of Oregon]], she moved to [[Boston]], Massachusetts, where she devoted herself to music, busking on the streets of Cambridge and studying jazz guitar at [[Berklee College of Music]] and with Boston area jazz guitarists.<ref name="Larkin90"/>

Her recording career began in 1985 with Philo/[[Rounder Records]] where she recorded ''Step into The Light'', ''I'm Fine'', and ''Live in the Square''.<ref name="Larkin90"/> In 1990, she signed to [[Windham Hill]]'s new [[High Street Records|High Street]] label and delivered four releases: ''Tango'', ''Angels Running'', ''Strangers World'', and ''Perishable Fruit''.<ref name="Larkin90"/> After Windham Hill was sold to BMG, Larkin moved to [[Vanguard Records]] and released ''à gogo'', ''Regrooving The Dream'', ''Red=Luck'', and ''Watch The Sky''. The latter was a ''[[The New York Times|New York Times]]'' "critic choice".<ref>((Cite news|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2008/01/21/arts/music/21choi.html|title=Patty Larkin – Watch the Sky – Raheem DeVaughn – Love Behind the Melody – Drive-By Truckers – Brighter Than Creation's Dark -|newspaper=[[The New York Times]]|date=January 21, 2008))</ref> In 2010, Larkin celebrated her 25th year of recording with ''25'', a stripped down retrospective of 25 love songs with 25 featured guests (Road Narrows Records/[[Signature Sounds]]).

Larkin produced ''La Guitara'', a compilation of international women guitarists challenging the notion that there are no great women guitarists. She has also performed on numerous compilations and her songs have been featured in the following films:  "Anyway The Main Thing Is" in ''[[Evolution (2001 film)|Evolution]]'' ([[Columbia Pictures|Columbia]]/[[DreamWorks Pictures|DreamWorks]]); "Good Thing" in ''[[Random Hearts (film)|Random Hearts]]'' ([[Columbia Pictures|Columbia]]); and "Coming Up For Air" and "Tenderness on the Block" in ''[[Sliding Doors]]'' ([[Miramax]]/[[Paramount Pictures|Paramount]]). [[Cher]] recorded Larkin's "Angels Running" on her album ''[[It's a Man's World (Cher album)|It's a Man's World]]''.<ref>((Cite web|url=https://www.allmusic.com/album/its-a-mans-world-mw0000178930|title=It's a Man's World – Cher &#124; Songs, Reviews, Credits|website=[[AllMusic]]))</ref>

Larkin is the recipient of an honorary doctorate of music degree from Berklee College of Music. She has also been honored by Boston's Mayor [[Thomas Menino]] with "Patty Larkin Appreciation Day" for her career in music and philanthropic contributions.

==Personal life==
She currently lives with her partner and two adopted children in [[Wellfleet, Massachusetts]].<ref name="Larkin90"/>
