Hey folks, Shayne Hollinger here.  Wanted to pass along an artist I think you need to know.

The great songwriter Bruce Robison (“Wrapped”, “Angry All The Time”, “Traveling Soldier”) reached out to tell me about this amazing artist that visited his Next Waltz studio.  For those that don’t know, Bruce has been doing some incredible work in that studio over the years and produced some of your favorite music with the Turnpike Troubadours “Come As You Are”, Flatland Cavalry “War With My Wind”, William Clark Green “The One I Was Then”, Jack Ingram “Times Like These”, Charley Crockett “I Can Help”, The Panhandlers “This Flatland Life” and many, many more.

So when he reaches out to tell you about a singer-songrwiter that you haven’t heard of yet, obviously you pay attention.  That artist is Pat Byrne.  The Irish-born Byrne was the winner of the first season of The Voice in Ireland.   In 2017, he migrated to Austin, Texas where he’s been since.

Pat Byrne has a voice that cuts to the bone.  Hope you enjoy his new song “Until It Isn’t”
