Some birthdays are just more special than others. Patty Peterson has long been acknowledged as one of the Twin Cities top singers. Her stellar solo albums, mantel full of MN Music Awards, and recordings and performances with other luminaries (David Sanborn, Steve Miller, Ben Sidran, et al.) have all made this first-class jazz and R&B vocalist a treasure. A health crisis in February (call it a matter of the heart) put Patty through emergency surgery and provided quite a scare for her loved ones (which includes legions of fans). Patty has willed her way to a recovery that is only stunning if you are unfamiliar with her resolve – but still qualifies as miraculous. With a trio led by her piano-playing mom (the matriarch of the wildly talented Peterson Family), Patty sings for us all as we celebrate her very special birthday.
