About Me

J. Patrick's stlye of music-Alternative Country. Lucinda Williams said "Alternative country music is country music that doesn't get played on the radio". Lucinda is right-alternative means something different and country means something simple. Nothing fancy, nothing overdone. Just pure simple music with a clean J.Patrick sound. "I just tried to come up with some honest songs. What I was writing about was real plain stuff that I wasn't sure was going to be interesting to other people. But I guess it was.”-John Prine.
"My music comes from the soul. My passion comes from the heart. My songs are for everyone to hear and feel my own heart and soul. Honest stories of life, death, faith, and love weaved with introspective, sometimes goofy, thoughts that I hope will touch you. Songs that will evoke a laugh, a tear, or maybe just a smile."-J.Patrick
The songs loaded are demos. Enjoy them until the release of an electic blend alt country CD in the near future.
J. Patrick lives, works, plays, and writes with his wife Miss Karenleigh and sons Daniel & Nick in Hickory, NC . A small southern town in the foothills of NC conveniently located between New York and Miami.
"Finally, a tremendous thank you to my wife of 25 years, Miss Karenleigh. The love of my life. Where would I be without you?"-J.Patrick
