"When you see a Patrick Park show, the music is the star,” says the website PopMatters. “There’s a freedom to the simplicity of solo acoustic shows which I love,” Patrick says. “Musically, it's direct and pure, and there’s nothing to hide behind, no way to cop out.” Patrick grew up in Morrison, Colorado, not far from Red Rocks, spent a little time in New York City, and seriously dug into becoming a songwriter in Los Angeles at the turn of the 21st century.
