Pat Riley is one of Nashville's top down to earth, multi-genre singer songwriters.  He  lives out in the COUNTRY and mainly writes about the COUNTRY living.

His ORIGINAL music has been featured on well over 150 radio stations and it has been sent to over 1000 radio stations around the world.   As of 8-29-10 his independent website has 404,000 hits/views.  Pat now has 6 CD’s and the last 3 were produced by Gary Carter, former Music Director of artists to include: Randy Travis, and Faith Hill (Pat's ex wife-hey dreams are free).   Although Pat's style is based in COUNTRY music, he has recorded music in the following categories: alternative-pop-rock, Americana, jazz, folk and easy listening. 

He remembers listening and singing John Denver, Donnie Osmond, Bobby Goldsboro songs at 6 years old and usually could be found as a youngster with his head resting on the record player, sometimes to the point of being "sound" a sleep.   He was later inspired by James Taylor, Merle Haggard, Sting and many other American Icons.  He started formal music education in the 4th grade playing trumpet and by the 7^th grade he was playing guitar and singing on stage at shows for 2000+ people.  Pat later studied music at the junior college level and continued his training by attending the legendary Pete Luboff's songwriting workshops at The National Academy of Songwriters for 2.5 years in Los Angeles.  All the while hosting/singing Karaoke for over 12 years and detailing cars, planes, and boats to help pay for college 

While leaving music to become a public school health teacher in junior high school, once each semester Pat would perform for ALL of his classes. The students found this to be a real treat. He remembers one of his students in particular saying, “Mr. Riley, you can sing, man you should be a singer, not a teacher” Well, fortunately for the last 12 years Pat has returned to doing what he loves most, writing, performing an recording with some of the best players in the world.  Furthermore, Pat has been meeting several major professionals in the business and is seeking further industry support in order to arrange a TOUR or get songs recorded by other artists..

His goal remains the same: to have several songs become part of the popular American music culture.  Pat's songs are in some ways like his children and hopefully some of them will live forever.  

Mr. Patrick John Denver Riley is not shy and firmly believes his music is divinely inspired.  Pat's confident and usually ready to jump in the ring (on stage) ......  anytime...... and is no stranger to being friends with some of the best folks in the music business.
