No, you're not wrong. Pat Byrne was here at MCC back in June 2022. Why did we invite him back only six months later? The answer is pretty simple - Pat is awesome and all of you who were at this show in June raved about him. And after we got to know Pat and realized what a great human being he is, this was a no-brainer.

Born in Carlow, Ireland (90 minutes from where Dave's grandmother Margaret Coleman was born), Pat relocated to Austin in 2017 and has been playing around town and touring cross-country (and across the UK, of course) since.

We first learned of Pat’s music through Jaimee Harris while she was co-writing with Pat a few years ago.

Pat has released three records, his most recent being Into The Light last year - it's a pretty amazing record and has garnered a ton of great reviews.

Pat is one of the most captivating artists we've hosted here at MCC - he writes great songs whose lyrics paint pictures the listener can't miss. His songs and his voice (and his performing style) remind us a bit of a young Bruce Springsteen with an Irish brogue.

It was only while speaking with a friend that I learned that Pat had actually won the initial season of "The Voice: Ireland", singing a cover of Springsteen's The River. (check out that video if you get the chance) Small world.

We are pretty excited to welcome Pat back to MCC.

We've learned that when you host artists you love at your home, the artists you host tend to have similar tastes in music. Earlier this year, Crystal & Pete Damore (Ordinary Elephant) and Jaimee Harris all told stories about writing with Wes Collins, and raved about how talented he is. So, naturally, we offered Wes a show at MCC. And we're pretty pumped that he said 'yes'.

At age 44, Wes Collins and his wife Anita made a pact to become writers: she started writing fiction and Wes penned his first song. A few years later, they were both multi-award-winners in their fields.

Winner of the 2015 Kerrville Grassy Hill New Folk competition (along with recognition at the Telluride Troubadour competition, Falcon Ridge and others), Wes is a songwriter's songwriter.

Wes' third album Jabberwockies has special contributions by Ordinary Elephant and Jaimee Harris. His two previous albums contain songs influenced by OE, Jaimee, Neil Finn, Gillian Welch, Bruce Cockburn and Patty Griffin.
