Diana Linn will be at the helm of Eclectics this week from 10 am til Noon on Friday March 12 offering up the best in Americana/Roots Music. Joining Diana by phone in the 11 am hour will be Texas singer/songwriter Courtney Patton who will be en route to play a gig at Knuckleheads Saloon in Kansas City Friday Night March 12.
Courtney Patton is a storyteller. She’s also a mother, a wife, a producer, a singer, a songwriter, a tour-van driver and a musician- as well as a world-traveler when she’s out on tour throughout the continental U.S., Canada and Europe. But to anyone lucky enough to be sitting in the audience while listening to her expansive Texas twang belt out her version of deep and soulful country music, she’s a storyteller. In a musical era in which clichés and bravado are mistaken for bold noteworthiness, there is something far more brave in peeling back highly personal and emotional open-book songs and delivering them with sensitivity and sentiment. Patton does just that. She is the consummate storyteller in her music.
