These are some of the accolades describing a singer and songwriter who made it his business to adamantly write, tour, play and sing. Patrick Davis' first full-length LP, appropriately titled Chances Are, which earned the Top 5 best-seller status on Awarestore.com, chronicles Davis' determination to take the necessary risks that define his music style (think Chris Issak meets Bruce Springsteen). Davis is bringing his determination and music directly to fans as he tours throughout the Southeast with a full 7 piece band.

Performing Songwriter Magazine hailed Davis' debut effort as "a natural blend of Springsteen-style working-class rock and from-the-gut alternative country… a notable debut from a young artist on the cusp of a serious career." Patrick Davis, the son of blues guitarist and vintage guitar shop owner, Rusty Davis, was raised in Camden, SC on a healthy dose of electric guitar and classic rock-n-roll. As a 16 year old, alongside his father's hometown classic rock band, Davis stepped on stage to experience his first live performance- and wouldn't you know- he’s been playing live music ever since.

The singer-songwriter recently signed publishing deal with publishing giant EMI on the heels of three top ten hits on the Texas charts, including the 9 week number one hit "Beat of Your Heart" co-written and performed by Cory Morrow. Additionally "Beat of Your Heart" won Song of The Year from the noted Gruene Hall Gruene with Envy Awards. Davis also has four album cuts on the new Pat Green record Cannonball, including the title track and hit single "Dixie Lullaby."

For Chances Are, with his own brand of heartfelt American Songwriting, Davis, alongside a handful of top-notch southeastern-bred musicians ranging from members of Trey Anastasio's backing band to the members of Hootie and the Blowfish, took a trip into Nashville's Omni Sound Studios. Mixed in Los Angeles by engineer Nick Brophy (Rolling Stones, Avril Lavigne), Davis' first album proved unafraid to explore the diversity that encompasses American music and includes 10 tracks penned by Davis, along with one high-energy cover of the famous Gram Parsons and Emmylou Harris tune “Ooh Las Vegas."

Since the October 21, 2003 independent release of Chances Are, Davis has landed favorable press from such music industry stalwarts as Paste, Performing Songwriter and Music Row Magazine, hit the road as a support act for national artists such as Pat Green, Edwin McCain, Nickel Creek, Howie Day, Hootie and The Blowfish and Dierks Bentley, has nurtured his growing fan base in markets throughout the southeast by touring his full 7 piece band, signed a publishing deal with EMI, and written three Top Tens. Chances are Patrick Davis is "a young artist on the cusp of a serious career."
