A pretty nice video was posted of me singing a new song a couple of days ago. It was done by a group of folks known as music fog, and they have a very cool video blog website dedicated to Americana music featuring just about everyone you can think of. Thanks to Jessie Scott and all the musicfoggers.
Here's the link: <http://musicfog.com/home/2010/6/12/patterson-barrett-come-back-to-me.html>
It was shot inside a tour bus during the Folk Alliance Conference in Memphis. That's my good friends Julieann Banks and Doc Simons playing with me. Julieann is also a wonderful songwriter; check her out at <www.myspace.com/julieannbanks> Jonathan "Doc" Simons and I have been knowing each other and playing together for... a long dang time. Thanks to both of them for sharing their talents!
Wednesdays at Threadgill's North

May 21, 2010
I've really been enjoying Wednesday nights lately. I've been going to Threadgill's Old #1 on North Lamar here in Austin, and playing with Stonehoney. This wonderful band will be heading out to spread their great singing and songs to the rest of the world, and I'm going to help host the Sittin', Singin' and Supper Sessions in their absence, starting June 2nd. We'll have lots of wonderful guests sitting in and singing along. Come on out and join us! The music starts at 7 and usually lasts till 9:30. You can get there early and eat before, or chew to music. You can even wait and sit down with me and eat at the end of the night--the kitchen stays open til 10.
Going To Memphis

February 2, 2010
For the 2010 International Folk Alliance Conference & Festival, that is! (February 18-21) Spring is right around the corner and I'm headed to Memphis. Panels and presentations during the day, official showcases in the evening. But later, 3 floors of the hotel (50 rooms?) are each filled with "private" showcases. 50 different acts every 30-60 minutes untill 2AM, all printed in a program. Make your choices and start running, or just walk down the hall (if you can) and see what grabs your attention. Kind of like musical speed dating! I'm dragging my friend Julieann Banks along and we'll be playing a gig in Shreveport on the way up. It'll be a blast!
