Details:
Soon after David Patrick Bryan learned to walk and talk he discovered that could also sing and dance. By the age of 5 he was performing on stage. Over the next few years he learned to play the piano and at 10, composed and arranged his first song! He spent his teen years playing with a 'garage' band at local clubs and eventually branched out to playing concerts in Southern Florida. His talents were recognized and David and the band were regularly invited to be the opening acts for the likes of Chuck Berry, Ted Nugent and other well known musicians. All during his mid to late twenties he managed and performed within a 9 member show band, touring consistently throughout the US and Canada. As time marched on, David found himself working in Las Vegas playing for the 'Freddie Bell Show' and in Los Angeles with members of the Ike and Tina Turner's Band.


David married and had 3 children. For David and Laurie, a musician's life on the road was not conducive to raising their children and so the decision was made to pursue his musical career within a more local area around Frankfort and Lexington, Kentucky. It was while performing here, that David wrote, recorded and produced his first solo recording, "Kentucky Days". Over the next few years, he did a number of recordings in Nashville and continued live performance, both local and regional.


In 1991, David was blessed by a dramatic life changing event. He decided it was time to show his appreciation to God for all the success and many blessings he consistently received and completely dedicated his music to the Lord. With the formation of Bryan Productions, Inc. came his first Christian album, "You Are My Friends" which received a Dove Award Nomination in 1998. He was a guest on EWTN's globally aired musical TV show, "Say Yes" as well as the new "Backstage" concert series, highlighting the best of Catholic music available today. He was the founder and host of Kentucky's "Sacred Sounds", a weekly Catholic radio program and has appeared on local Kentucky TV. He has also been seen on Central Florida's WTGL-TV 52 and WLCB-TV 45, the Prayer Channel in NY and on Boston's Catholic TV. His joyful personality and presence shine through in all guest appearances.


David has toured in Ireland and has performed, in concert, at the famed Astra Theatre in Schio, Italy which was broadcast over Vatican TV. He also appeared in concert in Sarajevo. While there, he and his son, Jason, produced a film, which was shown on Bosnia television, "David Patrick Bryan in Bosnia". This inspiring video garnered the prestigious "International Video of the Year" 2002 Award from the United Catholic Music and Video Association. Other honors bestowed upon him by UCMVA have been nominations for Album of the Year for "You Are My Friends" and a nomination for best Country Song of the Year for his rendition of "In the Name of the Father", written by Jim Cosgrove. He has also been nominated as "Artist of the Year".


David has just released his new album of original songs, "One With You" produced in New York by award winning producer, Ron Zabrocki and is embarking in full time ministry to promote the new recording. He is Christian music's answer to Kenny Rogers but enjoys a variety of musical styles on this new CD. This includes a bit of pop, rock, reggae and Latin, an eclectic mix of style and sound pulled together by Zabrocki's tremendous technical skill and David's utterly charming and lush tenor/baritone, tenortone, as he jokingly refers to his 2 ½ octave range.


"One With You" is bound to appeal to a large cross section of folks for it's diversity of music coupled with the very clear singular message that David Patrick Bryan loves God. He offers the listener the opportunity through all these insightful songs to come into a higher place of worship and to love the Lord as he does. The listener will find this an easy thing to do, thanks to David's kind and gentle spirit that is reflected throughout his ministry, his life and his music.
