It started in Raleigh. No, it started in Goldsboro. No, it started before then. Long before then. It started with a six-year-old child who insisted to his parents that he wants to learn music. He wants to learn piano. It started then. It was that one thing, he knew. That one thing that he could count on when things were awry, when escape was needed, when solace was craved. When he came to understand the lyrics, the words that were sung, he became even further consumed. He needed to know, needed to understand that one simple line, that one simple verse that drove so deep into his core. He played for his friends, he played into mics, he played when he could. Then Raleigh, and bands, and shows, and education. He wanted more. He discovered using pedals to create a one-man show, left people in wonder thinking “How’d he do that?” telling others “It’s hard to describe, you’ve just got to see it.” He moved to The City, not knowing what to expect. He found infinite inspiration, infinite desperation, energy all around. So he took all he had, went back to his state, and recorded an album that took all these things and turned them into song.

My name is Patrick, and this is my Last Parade.
