"KEY-MAN"

Bridging the gap between piano-driven songwriters like Rufus Wainwright and the darker music of Trent Reznor, queer Dallas singer and pianist Patrick Boothe, pictured, finds a niche in the valley of passion and intellect.

A songwriter focused on the big picture, Boothe writes politically charged lyrics from a personal perspective. From touching love songs to anger-fueled screeds, Boothe’s songs burn from within, revealing the sometimes troubled and engaging person behind them.

Currently promoting his second self-produced album, “Finally the View Has Changed,” Boothe continues to expand as an artist. His Saturday gig should prove the perfect opportunity to catch this up-and-coming local.

"Finally The View Has Changed-Review"

From The 06/21/06 issue of the Chicago Free Press:

“Finally The View Has Changed” (Abusing Music), the second album by Texan Patrick Boothe, is a blast of fresh air in the gay male music scene. Boothe’s experimental electronic recordings are as aggressive as they are accessible, beginning with the mind-blowing opening track “Be That Man” and continuing on “Ugly,” “The Upfall,” “Burden” and “Boys Like Me.” Boothe also exhibits a knack for crafting pleasing but unpredictable pop numbers such as “Too Far” and “What I Didn’t Know,” as well as for making chilling political statements, as in “Kill Him and Tell God He Died.”

Bio

Patrick Boothe has a lot of time on his hands. Although not a fully established musician, (still has a full time job to support his dirty habits) Patrick released his second album for his own label, Abusing Music (the first album, "Dub Escape", was released in the fall of 2003).

To be frank, the new album, "Finally The View Has Changed" staggers between solid piano melodies and jagged electronic bursts throughout the naked lyrics and haunting vocals that soar between those of a young Morrissey or Neil Young.

Songs like the Americana “Sorry For What I’ve Done” and the Blues-y “Ugly” are earnest in their declarations of peace, while the New Wave Revival of “Be That Man” (which the Chicago Free Press described as "mind blowing") and the Electro-brooding “I Have No Right” leave harsher moments of abandoned hope. In-your-face anthems like “The Upfall” and “Kill Him And Tell God He Died” are views of life on the inside of the Gay Community, something Patrick has been active in working to improve for the past year or so.

The live and fan favorite, “Boys Like Me,” a track that starts simply enough with a smooth organ melody and relaxing drumming provided by Mike Wynn, and bursts into a piano frenzy complete with layer upon layer of vocal declarations of independence and coming into appreciation with yourself outside of your friends, family, and relationships. The album, “Finally The View Has Changed,” is now avaialble at CDBABY.COM, as well as various vendors around the Texas region. Visit www.patrickboothe.net for more information and details of upcoming live shows, which are highly entrancing piano/vocal exclusive events that draw in everyone within earshot.
