Kenneth Pattengale
Storied Places
coming: January 27, 2009
Running the gamut from swamp music to rhythm and blues, lullaby to country and western, folk song to piano ballad- the songs on this new collection take direction from the stories they tell. They're not necessarily held together by a clear musical style but by the authenticity with which the stories are told.

Tell All Your Friends PRObituaries
released: August 2, 2007
Kenneth Pattengale's 5th full length studio record, the songs of "Obituaries" are culled from two and half years of junkyard scrapping, soul searching and heavy lifting. Somewhere lies the scent of real Americana veiled multi-fold beneath many different genres, stories and sounds. An oft- discordant journey through the ebb and flow of personal sea change. Don't expect the radio hits from this disc, but perhaps a surprising welling of disfigured emotion. Don't bring her home to Momma, but take her to the dance all the same...

released: March 15, 2005
"Dust Bowl Dream" is Kenneth Pattengale's fourth studio record. The original copy reads: "This time around it's an entirely organic record that stylistically represents the plight of American folk during the dust bowl era. Recorded all over California, Dust Bowl Dream is a dirty carriage ride through Red Rover Mine over Fossil Falls and all the way to Grandma's house. Come and meet the wandering criminals, tall tattered ladies, flighty youth, scorned lovers, cheats, circus freaks, pipe-dreamers, prima donnas, chain-gang workers, bar room lushes, crooners and swine. Get ready for a dirty ol' time..." Enjoy!

The Midnight Sessions
Currently out of print.
released: November 9, 2003
Kenneth Pattengale's Third Studio Release. " There is a beat to Sessions that seems to start just after the coffee shops close and slowly moves down a path that struggles only for clarity. Travel from small cobblestone squares behind the Iron Curtain to debutante balls in anywhere USA with only a pack of cigarettes, a hip flask and a leather bound bible. Bring your walking shoes for posterity."The Wonderfully Mad World of Doctor Caulwell

Dowtown L.A
Currently out of print.
released: October 8, 2002
Kenneth Pattengale's First Studio Release. "Thankfully, this long-overdue homage has arrived in the form of Kenneth Pattengale's "downtown l.a." A 20-year-old independent artist and student, Pattengale brings his listeners on a tour of "his" L.A., from the bright lights and glitz of the Sunset Strip to the smoke of the obscure jazz lounges at 3 a.m. What is perhaps most important, however, is that his album reflects the diversity and depth of the city with poignancy and innovation rarely seen from an artist his age."Matt Taylor & His Laurels

Wake Up, This Is Your Morning (EP)
released: August 21, 2007
Recorded over a few weeks in July 2007, "Wake Up, This Is Your Morning evokes 'Jimmy Eat World's pop-indie sensibility, Elliott Smith's fragility, and Coldplay's expansive, poignant tone.' - Bwank... As if singer Josh Lasseter's melodies weren't convincing enough, the energetic drumming, haunting spacious slide guitars and saturated vocal harmonies pack something special into a little stereo field. Be sure to browse all of the artwork, read the lyrics and, most importantly, listen to this little gem of an EP.
