Vancouver’s Pat Chessell has become known as one of the most exciting roots artists in Western Canada. After years of working hard and paying his dues, he’s lauded as the hardest working musician on the local music scene. While his mostly original music falls solidly under the broad umbrella of ‘Celtic’, Pat’s range is prodigious and eclectic. It’s been variously described as straight-ahead “his lyrics are at turns profound – or witty and high-spirited – but always dynamic and relatable as folk”. But to cut to the chase, it is all Pat’s music, played and performed in his distinctive and unique voice.
