My Pad: Austin, Texas

     Originator of the Stag Sound, Patson is a one man band from Muhlenberg County, KY the birthplace of thumb picking guitar. 95 miles northwest of Nashville, Muhlenberg is also the birthplace of such music legends as Merle Travis and The Everly Brothers.
      Featuring guitar, drums, and vocals all played simultaneously while standing behind a drum set, no samples... like you've never seen before. Patson blasts out an overall audio impression of a full band and has been compared to The Stooges, The Cramps, and The White Stripes to name a few. Top producer Ross Robinson (GlassJAw, At The Drive-In) calls it "sick.”
     The concept of playing guitar and drums together came to surface in July of 2008, and by July of the following year, it was finally time to take it to the streets and see how it would go over. “I went up there and did what I do in the basement… just let it rip. The audience could dig it right off, No one would deny that I was rocking it with everything I had.”
      Patson is a lifelong artist/musician sometimes known for his drumming in various bands in the Bowling Green, KY and Nashville, TN scenes. Along with writing, recording, mixing, and mastering his own demo, he also does all the graphic design (logos, T shirts) and video shooting/editing “I’m not a control freak, I just know how it needs to look and sound, since it’s me, I have the vision and the means to convey it" says Patson. See the videos at youtube.com/patson43
     “Merle and The Everly's always assured me that it didn’t matter where you are from as long as the music was kickin'.” says Patson about his geographical preference. Patson will tell you, he’s been all around this U.S.A and is quite sure of his love of his old Kentucky home, and KY loves Patson too. In 2010 Patson was named "Col Patson" by KY State Gov.
     Having endured a serious mountain bike crash in 2002, he lost the front 2.5 inches of his tongue when it was bitten off upon impact. Surgeons expected he might never speak audibly again. “I started back singing as soon as I could" said Patson. After three near death experiences, his Evel Knievel type stunts are strictly reserved for his music. Like Evel, Patson brings a bold new feat to music with an undeniable confidence.
     Today, Patson is playing in the Bowling Green and Nashville areas, bashing out his original approach on the one man band. A fully developed sound, mature voice and hard-hitting music that rocks any room, anywhere. Get down guaranteed.
