We welcome Pat back to SFG, it has been a while. Pat has carved a unique niche in the Canadian and Celtic folk 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. Pat’s talent has earned him coveted opening slots with acts like Jim Byrnes, The Paperboys, and Sharon Shannon. It will be a great show, you won’t be disappointed.
