Follow these links to preview and buy my songs from the "You an Me" album and the "Vanishing Cream" Ep :
"Pleasantly languid and intimate folk-rock, There are shades of Bowies understated power on tracks such as Fish and Chips, while the heartwrenching Opposites has faint echoes of Ben Harpers Lonely Day." Australian Guitarist Magazine .
“With his brand of folky rhythm and blues Patrick is more of a crooner than a screamer, Carr's super-charismatic voice is impossible to miss”.
“Matched with his trademark quirkiness, quick wit and finesse at penning interesting songs".
"Patrick Carr writes up close and personal pop songs with a blend of folk, country and 60's rhythm n blues with hooks to sing to."
Patrick has played his songs all around the world and now he has found home in the hills of Upwey Victoria
Pat's Troubadour existence is a family tradition with his great great grandfather Charles Thatcher "The Colonial Minstrel" being one of the first recorded minstrels in Australia.
His 1st solo Album “You and Me” is currently available through Byron Bay Records / MGM plus available online and is receiving a very warm welcome.
Patrick’s 2nd solo Album “Nightlife on Mars” is recently available on I Tunes.
