With its heartfelt lyrics and infectious melodies, “High to Ride” encapsulates the essence of seeking renewal and embracing the unknown. The song captures that pivotal moment when one realizes that they are free to experience something better and starting afresh becomes irresistible.
‘’High to Ride’’ is a song born out of my soul’s need for a new perspective,” says Patrick. “It’s about that feeling when you’re so ready for a new chapter, you’d be willing to leave everything behind in a heartbeat.”
Gary Patrick is an American singer, songwriter, guitarist from North East Texas. He was raised in a music rich environment and started playing guitar at eight years old. At eighteen, Gary found himself in Sunny Southern California, where he started his fulltime music career playing bars up and down the Orange County Coastline. He met many influential mentors and friends there. In 1995, Patrick played guitar and sang with the Wilsons (daughters of Beach Boys founder, Brian Wilson) for a few TV appearances and radio station tours. That same year, he recorded his first album, “Fish Fry”. By 2000, Gary moved to Las Vegas, where his band, Clockwork, performed as a house band for the famous Mirage and Bellagio Casinos for over seven years. Patrick recorded his second album, “Dichotomy” while in Las Vegas. By 2008, Gary moved to Nashville where he focused his energy on co-writing songs with dear friend, Ken Orsow. To date, Patrick and Orsow have written three albums together. In 2017, Gary met producer, Chad Mauldin. A great friendship was formed and together, Patrick and Mauldin have recorded four album projects together, “No Standing Waves”, “This World”, “Live in Studio Album” and currently releasing singles for “High to Ride”. Gary feels as if this is his most cohesive group of songs to date and sounds more like a debut album.
