notes

They say the "third time's a charm," and that is certainly true in the case of award-winning independent singer/songwriter, Courtney C. Patty. I Am, Courtney C. Patty's third full-length release, is her most revealing record yet. I Am is an acoustic folk-rock collection of songs that beautifully demonstrates the tight acoustic chemistry, intimately vulnerable lyrics, timeless melodies and intense harmonies that fans have come to associate with Courtney C. Patty's music. However, I Am stands apart from her previous works with a new musical maturity, a certain confidence and a sense of declared independence. Through I Am, Courtney C. Patty's talents and capabilities as a writer and performer are exposed as they never have been before.

Courtney C. Patty began performing at an early age, both in the classical and contemporary realms. After years of independent songwriting came the decision to record her first release, Seasons Change (1998), which she describes as a "leap of faith and a labor of love." Shortly thereafter, she released her sophomore effort, Waiting on the Universe (2000). And now, she is proud to promote her strongest effort yet, I Am (2002).

As her performance and songwriting continue to mature, Courtney C. Patty is being met with well-earned successes. In the past few months she has charted at Number 8 on KnotRadio's playlist (Phoenix, AZ); she is being featured as one of the country's up and coming female guitarists on Lady Six String (www.ladysixstring.com/artists/folk/courtneycpatty); she has been picked up by Rock101 Promotions as one of their primary artists and as a showcase artist for their Women Who Rock campaign (San Jose, CA); she has received two Best Performance acknowledgements from the Northern California Songwriters' Association (NCSA); and she has won two Best Song awards from the NSCA for the song which became the title track of her new release, "I Am."

Courtney C. Patty is also starting to attract international attention. She is being featured in a Singer/Songwriter edition of Papermoon (Germany); and she has been included on a limited-edition release of independent artists being presented at an international music conference (The Netherlands) by gold-record producer, Cookie Marenco.

Courtney C. Patty performs regularly in the San Francisco area.

  • A favorite that will touch your soul!
    author: Brad Weiner

    One of my favorite CDs in the past 5 years. Wonderfully written songs, outstanding voice and superior guitar playing combine for a musical experience that will touch your soul. If you enjoy the guitar based singer/songwriter genre, then this is a can't miss choice. You should also go out of your way to see her live. An entertaining, intimate musical experience will be had by all. Listen to her sample songs and you will be won over.

  • Poignant and playful
    author: Elena

    I rate cds on how singable they are; that is how much I like to sing along with them. I was singing the songs from 'I Am' when I only had the 2 minute downloaded samples. This music is moving and fun at the same time. It's music you invite home and play while you're feeling a need for peace or solace. It feels familiar after only a few plays. It is a bird soaring over the ocean's deserted shore.

  • An Awsome CD!
    author: Clinton Lindgren

    This is an awsome CD! Courtney has a fabulous voice, and the acoustic guitar-driven music proves to be the perfect accompaniment for her. What makes this CD special, though, is Courtney's positive, inspirational and very encouraging lyrics. Some of the highlights include the award-winning title track, "I Am", the song, "At All Times", which celebrates a very special freiendship, and "Gate Called Beautiful", dedicated to her grandfather, which is absolutely breath-taking. I highly recommend this CD! It's sure to bring a smile to your face, and hope in your heart!
