Patton Magee - Country Brat (Live at Jones)

Live from the birthplace of country music, New York City. I got tired of waiting on email responses so we produced our own video session. Might interview myself about it next. Drums: Luke Fedorko Bass: Russell Hymowitz Pedal Steel: Spenser Naess Flute: Steph Jacco Guitar & Vocals: Patton Magee Camera: Jonny Scala & Danny Alvarez Editing & Color: Jonny Scala Audio Recording: Rob Norris Mix & Master: Patton Magee Special Thanks to Sean Jones & the greatest little dive in NYC Carrying New York wit down the Santa Fe Trail on his debut solo project, Patton Magee is carving out the next chapter of the Great American Songbook. Born in Texas to Louisiana parents and raised in constant transit alongside nine brothers and sisters, Patton took in the United States through the backseat window of their GMC Savannah passenger van as his family moved from the Gulf Coast to the San Francisco Bay, then the Rocky Mountains and finally the Carolinas. Attending college in the Appalachian Mountains of North Carolina, Patton co-formed rock’n roll band ‪@TheNudeParty‬ with his new college classmates. Soon he found himself traveling those same highways around America for the next 12 years. Trading that GMC Savannah for a Chevrolet Van, the band signed to ‪@NewWestRecords‬ with a debut album that took the band across the United States and Europe many times, opening tours for ‪@jackwhite‬ ‪@arcticmonkeys‬ and ‪@OrvillePeck‬ and taking the stage at major festivals like ‪@BonnarooMusicFest‬ ‪@lollapalooza‬ , and ‪@AustinCityLimitsTV‬ Finally settled a while in New York City, the ultimate respite for all the world’s transients, he is breaking into a new world of Country-Western Americana Rock’n Roll with a true traveler’s voice - invoking the Arizona desert gunfighter ballads of Marty Robbins, the NYC quick fix literary hits of Lou Reed, slinky bayou sounds of Dr John, and center of the USA rock & roll rapscallion-ism of Chuck Berry. Well equipped with timeless tales of heartbreak, death, and dilemma, Patton’s latest stake on songwriting is a fresh buffet of many Americas touching on one plate.
