Patrick Masse coming to Dallas
In a time when country music seems dominated
by either pop cross-over divas, young boys and female singer-songwriters,
Canadian Recording Artist Patrick Masse continues to make
his way in a genre not many young men choose to tackle, but
Patrick does this with relative ease. From smooth ballads
like Something's Telling Me to radio bound inspirational tracks
such as We're Not Alone, Masse delivers his own style of country
music that will appeal to younger audiences as well as to
the more seasoned country listener.
His exposure to old country began very early in his life
when his whole family would take long rides in the Chevy Van
and sing along to their old country favourites. Patrick can
be considered one of those lucky people that knew from an
early age that he wanted to sing. You might think that one's
identity would get lost in the mishmash of a large family,
but fortunately his parents recognized and nurtured the spirit
that music inspired in Patrick.
In the mid 90's, while most of his friends were heading off
to parties and raves, Patrick was appearing around Vancouver
at different songwriter's gatherings and live music venues.
Then through an association with songwriter Sandy Dunkley,
Patrick was introduced to the Nashville Songwriters Association,
where he began playing showcases. His association with Dunkley
also introduced Patrick to Mel Shaw, the Founding President
of CARAS (Canadian Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences),
who co-produced Patrick's first CD in Nashville.
Over the past few years Patrick has seen many successes with
his music including a nomination for the Ray McAuley Memorial
"Horizon" Award at the BCCMA Awards and radio airplay
for his first two CDs all over Canada, Europe and parts of
the United States.
A few years ago, Patrick felt a need to give back and called
upon some of Vancouver, Canada's talent and put together a
show at the Vogue Theatre to raise money and awareness for
people living with dyslexia.
With the good looks and charm of a country boy and the soulful
voice of a crooner, Patrick Masse is winning over new fans
with his traditional yet refreshing brand of country.
