Influences
Bob Dylan, Gram Parsons, Keith Richards, Townes Van Zandt, John Lee Hooker, Patterson Hood, Bruce Springsteen, Woody Guthrie, Mom and Dad, Berlin City, Tulsa Town, summer rain, cheap guitars, being broke, having money, old records, AM radio ...
Coman has a lot to say, and does so cogently in lovingly crafted arrangements that serve as perfect musical vehicles. I recommend Used Records highly as a disc worth checking out, but also recommend that if you happen to be near one of Coman’s gigs that you make the effort to get there. Rating: 4 Stars (Out of 5)

"I like my music with a little side order of grit and gumption ala Steve Earle so Patrick Coman's EP hit the right spot for me."
-C.W. Ross (IndieMusicStop.com)
"Songs like "Amsterdam" and "Streets of Berlin" imply a wandering soul, but our favorite was the countrified "Maria"."

"...He says he has an imperfect voice. As it should be. In the end it's not an understatement to say he is reminiscent of Neil Young." -BalconyTV
Patrick Coman is a singer/songwriter who draws comparisons to folks like Neil Young, Gram Parsons and Ryan Adams. The Tulsa, OK native
recently relocated to Boston from Berlin, Germany where he recorded
and released a 5-song EP entitled Used Records. Coman's soulful,
confessional style has garnered praise on both sides of the Atlantic
and he continues to build a following in the United States and abroad. He has played at bars, clubs, coffee houses, frat houses, concert halls, amusement parks, and the occasional street corner. He is a former short order cook; his specialty was chicken fried steak.
Patrick Coman ist Singer-Songwriter aus Nashville, Tennessee. Er spielt Country/Folk/Americana Music (im Stil von Bob Dylan, Ryan Adams, Neil Young und Gram Parsons). Wie andere Liedermacher, ist er immer auf Achse, und seine Musik spiegelt diesen wandernden Geist. In seinen unvergesslichen Liedern begleitet er sich selbst auf der Akustikguitarre und dem amerikanischen Lap Steel.
