Details:
The songs on Sycamore Tryst are like the love child of Aimee Mann and Chris Isaak -- poetic folk pop, folk-country and lyric-driven acoustic rock -- sophisticated yet accessible, sung in an intimate style like Joni Mitchell or Sarah MacLaughlin.

Ten songs from Patti's first CD, "Land Of Souvenirs," earned more than a dozen song and album awards including grand prize in the Great American song contest. Two more CDs and a few short years later that number has grown to more than 30 top honors from an impressive list of international and regional competitions.

Sycamore Tryst is Patti's most recent CD. It earned awards in the Billboard, Woody Guthrie, Mid-Atlantic, Indie Acoustic Project, and SIBL song contests, plus a Top 12 DIY and Spotlight DIY from Performing Songwriter magazine. Songs from the CD have appeared in movies and TV. (They're kind of obscure, but hey.)

Teamed again with producer/guitarist Rich DePaolo (find him here on CD Baby) and the rest of Patti's band, Prairie Doll - drummer Bill King and Doug Robinson on bass - Patti offers 13 original songs on Sycamore Tryst, one with a nod to Three Dog Night. Guest artists are Tom Tom Club guitarist Robby Aceto, Bob Carlucci on pedal steel, Eric Aceto on electric violin and fellow I-Town Records artist and singer-songwriter Uniit of the Sim Redmond Band.

I-Town Records is the vibrant co-op of independent bands and recording artists based in Ithaca, NY. I-Town's roster includes John Brown's Body and Sim Redmond Band and a catalog of more than forty titles representing reggae, rock, jazz, americana and folk. Sycamore Tryst is a co-release of Patti's DIY imprint Potent Folk and I-Town Records. www.itownrecords.com
