Paddy Tutty is best known as a singer of traditional songs. Her repertoire encompasses ancient ballads, songs from a woman's perspective, songs with a twist, songs about the world around us, and songs with lots of drone! As well as singing traditional music from the British Isles and North America, she includes a few contemporary songs in her concerts, tunes on finger-style guitar, fiddle and concertina, but she is known best for the driving rhythm of her fretted dulcimer.

Born and raised on the Canadian Prairies, Paddy Tutty has toured extensively during the last three decades, performing at folk clubs, concert halls, libraries and schools, as well as appearing at numerous folk festivals. In addition to her solo work, she has collaborated with other musicians in theatre, music, storytelling and recording projects. Working with such renowned producers as David Essig, Ken Hamm and Ian Tamblyn, she has released five recordings on her independent label Prairie Druid Music.
