Patricia Barber (born November 8, 1955) is an American songwriter, composer, singer, and pianist.
Barber's father Floyd was a jazz saxophonist who played with Bud Freeman and Glenn Miller.[1] She played saxophone and piano from a young age, sang in musicals in high school, and studied piano at the University of Iowa in the early 1970s.[1] From there Barber went to Chicago and began performing regularly in bars and clubs.[1] She won a Guggenheim Fellowship in music composition in March 2003, an unusual accomplishment for someone working in the field of popular songwriting.[2] The Guggenheim allowed her to devote time to a song cycle based on Ovid's Metamorphoses.[1] She is married to musicologist Martha Feldman.[3]
