David Patton Music

David Patton was born in Durant, Oklahoma, and quickly moved to Texas. After about 6 years in Dallas, he and his Mom moved back to her native Alabama. Then, at age 16, he moved back to Dallas to live with his Dad, and Texas has been home ever since.It was the time he spent in Alabama that would instill in him his love of music forever. "I sang in the choir at church. One of my cousins, Jack, was in one of the top gospel groups around South Alabama." Country music to him was the best it ever was or ever would be back then. All the great singers and songwriters made a huge impression on him. "Growing up in Montgomery with my Mom, and in Luverne with my Aunt and my cousins, was a time I loved and will never forget."In Dallas, just as singing and playing guitar seemed to come natural to David, so did songwriting. He soon found himself in Nashville where he had his songs recorded by the likes of Waylon Jennings, Joan Baez, Johnny Darrell, Ian and Sylvia, and many others.David now resides in East Texas.
