Our featured artist this week is:
PATSY & DAVE
Melbourne VIC
Country, contemporary
Formerly The Long and Short Of It, Patsy & Dave are still the same duo – Patsy Toop OAM and David Baird, who first met in 2007 and already have an impressive resume that includes six album releases, two EPs, and have earnt themselves a slew of awards including a Tamworth Songwriters Award (2011), a Tasmanian Independent Country Music Award for Most Popular Duo (2016), three-time winner of an Indie Country Music Australia (ICMA) Award for Most Popular Independent Country Duo (2017, 2019 & 2021), a Southern Star Awards Award for Best Duo or Band (2016) and a two-time winner of a Gold Media Medallion Award for Best Duo Nationally (2015 & 2018) – to name a few.
They have a new album releasing on 6 September 2024 which continues their rich association with songs of insight, positiveness and fun. ‘The Willow’ features a couple of tracks – including the title song – written and recorded with Aussie Legend Russell Morris who reached out to the duo on hearing their previous album ‘Midnight Choir’.
The pair’s sumptuous harmonies have been described as “honey-coated chocolate”. Patsy & Dave continue to uphold their commitment to penning songs that are relatable, inspirational and are storytelling. Since their first release in 2009, the pair have continued to grow musically with every release.
