Dan Patterson is an Americana Singer-Songwriter based out of Lubbock, Texas. With a focus on reviving the storytelling side of music, Dan draws much of his influence from artist such as Jason Isbell, Drew Kennedy, and John Moreland. Recently featured in the Fort Worth music publication, Rattle Magazine, Patterson has been creating quite the buzz over the last few months. 2016 is full of excitement, and most of that excitement stems from the release of the new album, "My Own Best Enemy". With strong influences from song writers such as Jason Isbell, Sturgill Simpson, and The White Buffalo, the new album is designed especially for those that enjoy the story-teller side of songwriting. He released his first full album, "Smoke in My Lungs". Recorded at YellowDOG Studios in Austin, TX., the album is a collaboration of talent such as Dave Perceful, David Abeyta, and Kim Deschamps. "Smoke in My Lungs" has become an excellent launching point for Patterson's emerging career. An internationally acclaimed album, voted the #11 album of 2013 by Southern Rock Brazil. The album also features several songs on New Slang's "Top 100 Songs of 2013". As with most things in Patterson's life, his outlook on music is to "love what you're doing, and have fun doing it. It you're not having fun, it's not worth doing. Shows with lots of energy and lots laughs are the goal. So, thank you for all of your support, and we hope to see you down the road!"
