Pat Byrne at The White Lilac
2024-08-07 20:00 - 21:30 | The White Lilac, 5029 6th Ave, Kenosha, WI, 53140, United States
Irish singer-songwriter Pat Byrne, now based in Austin, Texas, seamlessly merges the poetic depth of Bob Dylan, the rock-n-roll storytelling of Bruce Springsteen, and the activism of Woody Guthrie and Pete Seeger. Praised for his poignant lyrics and raspy voice, Byrne has been compared to contemporary Americana artists and lauded for his compelling musical storytelling. His album “Into The Light,” recorded at Nashville’s Sound Emporium studio, showcases a range of emotional lyrics and dynamic vocals across various tracks, receiving acclaim as one of Austin’s finest recent singer-songwriter albums. Byrne continued his momentum with releases like “Only a Man” and “Until it Isn’t” in 2022, further solidifying his reputation with tracks that resonate with themes of love, loss, and the everyday struggles of a working musician. His work is supported by seasoned musicians, including members of Emmylou Harris’s band, and has attracted significant attention for its earnest and rootsy appeal, melding Irish and Texan musical influences.
