Me, Myself, and I. One day I will use accompanyists, but until then I need to go it alone.
Influences
Huge list here, too many to list but I feel the need to do so at least a little to give you an idea of where I am coming from. My musical inspiration includes the following list members:
My friends, The RiverLand Project Members, John Prine, Mike Doughty, Bob Seeger, Jackson Browne, JOE PURDY, Willie Nelson, Kevin Sweet, Johnny Cash, RYAN ADAMS, Neil Young, Anderson Hall, Ben Harper, Oso Rey, Matt Coleman, Nico Agosto, Spiro Nicolopoulos, Everyone that plays The Vault, Alisson Satinger, Wendy Huckins, Piers Faccini, Issac Simmons, The Dead, Tracy Chapman, Millions of others I can't even think of now cuz I am too tired!
An outside the box kind guy, who hopes you will follow the evolution of his music. It will be a wild ride that continues to get more fun as time passes, and you should find something you love while enjoying the ride.
Chad Patrick is a Jackson Pollock'esque, John Prine'ish, Bob Seeger'like, Faux-Moc-Naugahyde-Diamele kind of singer/songwriter. He is an inventive artist, who longs to teach and share himself with others who will listen.
"The goal of my music is for it to find it's way into being at least a small part of the soundtrack to people's lives. Maybe a conversation had while driving and listening to my CD, maybe while making the bed, maybe while making breakfast, maybe while making babies, hopefully while making some memories. Who knows when and who cares why? I just want to create something beautiful that will still be around after I am gone. I want to leave a positive creative effect on this world and my fellow strugglers who play and toil here while we can."
Chad D. Patrick- Musician, Artist, Riverland Project Founder and on and on until the ego is no longer capable of being stroked any more.

Hey, it's nothing making a handsome devil like yourself look good in photo's. I agree though about the background. Seems that every photo I take at Little Fisherman has a Marlin, Bass, or some sea dwelling creature in the background; behind someones head; coming out of their ear or bellybutton. Thanks for the comment. Mike I.
