Patrick Bates is an independent songwriter based in Richmond who, over the years, has played in many bands including Autocue, Planar, The Clair Morgans, the Ash Bruce Trio and others. Four years ago, he started writing songs for a solo project and has since been playing shows all over the country. Now he’s setting his touring eyes back to RVA.
On Tuesday, March 19, he’ll be debuting a new set of songs at The Listening Room with a new set of musicians backing him up. The evening will also feature the Mason Brothers and Chris Dowhan. And on April 6, he’ll be playing at Gallery 5 with a much louder sound along with Clair Morgan and Hens.
