This Thursday 8/21 from 6-8pm we welcome Michael Patrick to our stage as part of the Milford merchants association music in Milford series. It’s sure to be a good show so come on out! 🎶🎤🎸
Named Top Country Folk Artist by the Jersey Acoustic Music Awards, Michael Patrick prides himself on energetic live shows with audience participation and interaction encouraged.
Patrick has wowed audiences with opening performances for Steve Earle, Dave Mason, Asleep at The Wheel, Pure prairie League, Randy Travis, Clint Black, Marty Stuart, Rosanne Cash, Carlene Carter, Billy Joe Shaver, Gary Allen, David Allan Coe, Justin Townes Earle, Chris Knight, The Marshall Tucker Band, and The Outlaws just to name a few.
Country, Folk, Rock, Blues, and even Gospel blend cohesively in Patrick’s songs, which are inspired by the likes of Johnny Cash, Hank Williams, Woody Guthrie, Lyle Lovett, and John Prine. Always heartfelt, sometimes autobiographical, with some signature sarcasm and humor thrown in for good measure. Patrick has developed an appreciation of simplistic story-telling lyrics, catchy hooks and memorable melodies.
Since moving to a rural area on the west coast of New Jersey along the Delaware River, where, “his neighbors are now cows and horses!” he has found country living provides inspiration. Shortly thereafter he quit his day job of 15 years to perform and write music full-time. He’s even produced two new albums, Crossing Bridges and HOME.
Michael Patrick has logged over 2000 live performances in the tri-state (NY, NJ, PA) area in addition to 3 annual tours down south. Along with his band he has performed at such prestigious venues as The Union County Arts Center, Strand Theater, Mayo Performing Arts Center, Paramount Theater, Bergen Pac, Newton Theater, Sellersville Theater, Stone Pony, Starland Ballroom,Newtown Theater, Showcase Live and BB King’s.
