Patrick Bloom w/ Andrea Potts
About Patrick Bloom, Miles Of Music writes: "There is an honesty and generosity in the way Patrick Bloom presents his carefully crafted studies of the human experience. His subjects are not extraordinary. In fact, it is their ordinariness that makes them special. They are stories about you and I."
...and Broadtexter.com writes: "This is the kind of masterful songwriting that you rarely hear these days. You'll hear it in an artists like Gillian Welch, David Rawlings, and Steve Earle, and maybe a handful of other contemporary songwriters, but, for the most part, folks with this kind of talent are few and far between."
Patrick is touring in support of his recent release, Moses. Recorded in part with grants from the Iowa Arts Council and the National Endowment for the Arts, the album has so far reached #9 on the Roots Music Report chart, #14 on the Euro Americana chart, and #6 on the Freeform American Roots chart. Additionally, the album is a featured pick at both CD Baby and Miles Of Music, and has earned Bloom widespread critical praise.
