Patrick Sylvest has tones of Clapton in his voice and the colors of a true son of the South! The material is new, refreshing and the instrumentation of all...especially Rob Ickes and Andy Leftwich... is superb. Rob sets the tone and Patrick delivers. This was a grand surprise but I will make sure all my friends know about Patrick Sylvest. I guar-onteee! - www.bluegrassnotes.com

Bio
I was born and raised in South Louisiana on the Mighty Mississippi where I began my music career playing guitar and singing in the choir in Church and school and anywhere else I could find to play. I've also played with several bands over the years, preferring the acoustic variety the most; The Moss Pickers, of Thibodaux, LA was my most recent foray into the band format. I'm settled on Bayou Lafourche where I've raised my family. I've been writing songs ever since I began to play the guitar at age 14. I've performed in open mic's all over and in Coffee Shops for the past several years. Coffee Shop patrons tend to be the music listening type which is probably why singer songwriters like myself gravitate toward such venues. I love great folk music, new and old. There's nothing better than a well sung story to tug at the heartstrings or tickle the funny bone of an audience. The title song of my New CD, 'A Little Less Louisiana', laments the tragedy of our vanishing Louisiana Coastline. It is my most sincere hope that this CD can bring this problem into the consciousness of as many people as possible.
