Album Notes

Patrick John Riley began singing John Denver and Donnie Osmond songs at 6 years old and was later inspired by James Taylor, Merle Haggard, and others. He started formal music education in the 4th grade playing trumpet and by the 7th grade he was playing guitar and singing on stage at school shows for 2000+ people. He later studied music at the junior college level and continued his training by attending songwriting workshops at The National Academy of Songwriters for 2.5 years, and hosting/singing Karaoke for over 12 years. For the last 7 years Pat has been, writing, recording and performing original music some of the best players in the world. His music has been featured on over 150 radio stations around the world. His independent website has over 90,000 hits and he’s NOT jus country. He now has 6 CD’s and is in the process of recording another his 4th CD with producer Gary Carter, former Music Director of artists to include: Randy Travis, and Faith Hill (Pat’s ex wife) ha! If you want to hear some home grown, kick butttt music just check out his website at www.patrileys.com. Overall, I believe it’s some of the best independent, underground music I’ve ever heard fully produced.
