Reviews:
Music From Little Big Pink-

("Ant Farm" is an uplifter for the uplifting-suspicious), these basement tapes are a mirror of the you that got
left behind in the corporate flood, and the work of the most original locally bred songwriter since Bon Iver
.- Jim Walsh (Minneapolis music critic
and author : All over but the shouting

Gretchen Seichrist came along when I desperately needed her-

- Sugar Head Pie!
I just listened to "Sugar Head Pie" and it's absolutely fantastic.
It's a great performance by you.
The song captures your personality,
the lyrics are incredible. I think it's one of the best
pieces of music I've ever heard around here.
This is called a rave review, Gretchen. Congratulations!
- Barry Thomas Goldberg

Patches & Gretchen's second album, has been getting much-deserved rave critical reviews from well-respected members of the Twin Cities press and music scene, including writer Jim Walsh, The Honeydog's Adam Levy and MPR's Chris Roberts. I, personally, have placed the album at the top of my list of the best albums to be released in Minnesota this year, and given its relevance, power and refreshing honesty, it's not likely to slip from that spot.
From How Was The Show:
Expanding on the groundwork she laid down on her debut The Big Pink, Sugar Head Pie makes it all the more evident that Seichrist's artistic vision comes from living in a world that few of us ever even visit. (Some of us never go there, if we're lucky, or unlucky as the case may be, as it's a place of often beautiful, though often harsh realities.) As way of metaphor, I found myself relying on how Bill Burroughs described the title of his novel Naked Lunch, which came to him via Jack Kerouac: "A frozen moment when everyone sees what is on the end of every fork." Seichrist tells it like it is.

Patches and Gretchen has a performing band with Terry Eason, Mike Leonard, and Tommy Tousey

It's a tale of two sisters this week at the Dakota: Aimee Mann, the famous L.A. pop singer-songwriter, and Gretchen Seichrist, the up-from-the-underground Minneapolis poet who rocks.
On Monday's opening night, I preferred Seichrist the artist over Mann the professional singer-songwriter. Seichrist seemed more invested in her music and better prepared (even with guest violinist Scarlet Rivera). On the first night of her acoustic tour, Mann and her two backup musicians seemed under-rehearsed and unfocused.
Dressed in a fancy thrift store gown, Seichrist, 45, was full of trembling intensity, all Dylanesque phrasing, nervous energy and kitchen-sink theatrics (she had the lyrics to one song taped to the inside of a frying pan). Rivera, Dylan's violinist from the Rolling Thunder Revue in the mid-'70s, added the perfect North Country accent on three tunes, including Dylan's "Oh Sister." After turning into Patti Smith's little sister with some proto-feminist rock 'n' roll poetry, Seichrist explained, "I'm not just angry. I'm other things, too.
