It’s great to see the fantastic news of Patti Russo’s UK tour announcement being picked up by news and music sites. Here’s a little round-up of articles we’ve come across so far.
So So Gay broke the news right after the first tour date was announced, along with a video of Patti’s most popular song to date, Bible and a Beer. Female First also covered the tour announcement, Sonic Shocks has a little article as well and Classic Rock Radio ran a longer write-up with some background on Patti’s career and extensive quotes from Patti herself.
And here’s a bit of what Patti had to say:
“I’ve done this all on my own, without representation – it’s been pretty amazing, to say the least, but I’ve never taken that giant leap to start my own solo career and for me it’s like an itch that needs to be scratched! Yeah sure, I am late joining the game, very late compared to others, but then again I’ve never followed the rules and I’m not about to start now! I am a grown woman and through living a full life I have been able to write about my experiences and now people are listening! I get letters every day telling me that my songs have opened their eyes to problems they have been afraid to face or that a song of mine has stirred something up inside them that encourages them to want to be a better person. That’s some pretty amazing feedback, isn’t it?”
