Patrick Davis
2009 finds Patrick Davis in the midst of diligently writing and recording music for both himself and others. Davis' song "Where I'm From", co-written with friend and collaborator Joe Leathers, has been released to country radio by rising country music star, and Arista Nashville Recording Artist, Jason Michael Carroll and is already nearing Country Radio's Top 10. Davis also has the closing track, "Be Wary of a Woman" on Darius Rucker's brand new Capitol Records release "Learn to Live", which debuted at 1 on the Billboard Country Music Chart back in September and 2 tracks on Pat Green's upcoming BNA Records Nashville Release, "What I’m For".
Patrick's 5-song EP "Worktapes" featuring the track "Diamond in the Makin," which was co-written by Davis and songwriter/artist Mat Kearney, is already completed and ready for release in late winter/early spring 2009.
Patrick is currently scaling back his touring itinerary and only headlining select markets in the Southeast, but has in the past few years not only toured the Southeast, but much of the country as a support act for Hootie and the Blowfish, Pat Green and other well known acts.
Patrick was signed to EMI Music Publishing in 2006 and since that signing has earned double digit songwriting cuts by the aforementioned Carroll, Green & Rucker as well as new Sony Nashville Artist Caitlin & Will, former BR549 front man Chuck Meade, Cory Morrow and others.
Patrick pens tunes with a wide range of artists and writers, including Robert Randolph, Matt Kearney, Guy Clark, Sugarland, Julianne Hough, Jason Michael Carroll, Dave Berg, David Wilcox, Radney Foster, Darius Rucker, Pat Green, Jewel, Cory Morrow, Harley Allen, Brett James, Lady Antebellum, Jeffrey Steele and many of the top songwriters in Nashville, NY, LA and Texas.
Patrick got his professional start in songwriting in 2005 with 2 co-writes on Texan Cory Morrow's "Nothing Left To Hide" album and then followed that up with 4 tracks on Pat Green’s 2006 major label release "Cannonball", including the single "Dixie Lullaby", which charted as high as 22 on the Country Radio Charts in the Spring of 2007.
Patrick's first album, Chances Are, was produced by Mark Bryan, guitarist for Hootie and the Blowfish and was released independently in late 2003.
Before signing his publishing deal in 2006, Patrick played nearly 200 dates each year. Playing music is the only job he has ever had.
Patrick learned to play the guitar in high school and was influenced from a young age by his father, Rusty Davis, a guitar player and local music shop owner.
