Pat Garrett Bio Country entertainer Pat Garrett is one of music’s best-kept secrets. The vocal powerhouse, who’s shared the stage with the likes of Johnny Cash, George Jones, and Willie Nelson, and has released seven albums of original music, has a host of other credits to his name. Most people are surprised to learn that the prolific singer/songwriter penned the song, “Bad Woman”, recorded by acclaimed British rockers, The Arctic Monkeys. Or that his biker song and video, “Wild Hog, has over 100,000 hits on YouTube. Or that he helped launch the career of Taylor Swift. Or that he’s been on the GOP trail entertaining at Palin/McCain rallies with his original song, “Moose-Shootin’ Mama”. While his rich baritone voice is perfectly showcased on one of his romantic original ballads, like wedding favorite “Hold Onto You”, he is not one to shy away from a stimulating debate. A prime example is his latest song, “I’m Voting for Donald for President” in support of presumptive presidential nominee, Donald Trump. He wrote the song soon after the billionaire businessman announced his candidacy in summer of 2015, amidst a firestorm of criticism. The song ad video are being released nationally in May 2016. This isn’t the first time Garrett’s thrown his cowboy hat into the political ring. His infectious, upbeat single “Moose Shootin’ Mama,” a tribute to former candidate for Vice President, Sarah Palin was one of the most talked about songs of the 2008 political season, leading to coverage on major news outlets, Fox and ABC, and a stint as the entertainer on the GOP trail. He has also received national attention for his irreverent commentary on the political scene, with the “Monica Lewinsky Polka, “Stick Your Oil’, “Bailout, and his “Saddam Stomp,” which hit the Billboard Top 100 and was covered by ABC News, Rolling Stone and Country Weekly. The Harley riding cowboy is also a hit on the biker scene. “Wild Hog” is a full-out, rollicking stomp that became a Top 20 download, and has almost 150,000 hits on YouTube. “Drinking This Yuengling Beer” is a tongue-in-cheek tribute to the famous brewery near his hometown in Pennsylvania. The Pat Garrett Band performs around the USA. His music can be heard on AMI jukeboxes around the country, and is available on iTunes, at www.patgarrett.com, and most online outlets.
