Pat
Chessel
Surrey,
British Columbia born Pat Chessell has been singing
for as long as he can remember being alive. His musical
background and his musical influences of Johnny Cash,
George Jones, Hank Williams Sr., Jimmy Buffett, Blue
Rodeo and Chris Isaak have helped him develop an honest
and completely unique approach to country music.
Many
consider his musicianship as a "hat-trick":
his expert guitar playing, passionate vocals and outgoing
personality are a combination sure to make this young
artist a well known face on the Canadian country scene.
Chessell gained recognition on the local music scene
for his work with a popular Celtic group which produced
a well-loved CD and toured across B.C. performing in
local festivals and at pubs, clubs, and special events.
Although he enjoys listening to almost every genre of
music, it is country music that speaks to Pat. "When
I heard Johnny Cash sing on the television once, I knew
that was the direction I wanted to take my music. To
take the attitude, energy, and storytelling elements
of country music and use them to deliver a message and
let my audience know who I am", he says. He echoes all
of his influences, but never emulates.
Pat
Chessell is one of Canada's up and coming new country
artists. He will be playing at many events throughout
the remainder of the year and is currently "sketching"
out material for his debut solo C.D.
