What is a Hummingbird Backyard House Concert?
It is a concert that happens in my backyard on a monthly basis. The requested donation of $25 goes directly to the musicians. I prepare a meal that you can enjoy prior to the concert and you can contribute if you'd like.
This is a “listening” environment. Conversations should be kept to a minimum and cell phones be turned to vibrate. There will be time before, after, and in between sets to socialize and mingle.
Things to bring to a Hummingbird Concert (HBC): Bring along a comfortable chair to sit in (there are plenty of extras), practical shoes (because this in my wooded backyard, I don’t recommend sandals due to Fire Ants, Scorpions, and other outdoor creatures), mosquito spray, a light jacket, an umbrella (if it looks like it might drizzle). Please don't bring your pets. This is non-smoking.
About our Musician: Pat Byrne
An Irish singer-songwriter, Pat Byrne has come a long way since his first deal with Universal. In late 2017, Byrne began his migration to Austin, Texas. In 2019, Pat took the US by storm, with breakout performances at the 30A Festival, SXSW, Kerrville Folk Festival and the Americana Festival. Being immersed in the Texas music scene, Pat's sophomore US release, Into the Light, has an edgier feel underscoring both emotional depth and greater confidence, while blending new influences with his rich Irish heritage.
“The raspy melodic soul of Byrne’s voice recalls the emotional spells the late Austin troubadour Jimmy LaFave used to cast, though Byrne’s songwriting bears a distinctive Irish stamp. He’s more contemporary than strict traditionalists, putting him more in the league of Glen Hansard or Luka Bloom.”
Peter Blackstock, The Austin American Statesman
“Pat Byrne lives in Austin and traffics in the kind of earnest roots rock championed by artists like Shakey Graves. His voice and songwriting chops show the reason he’s attracted a lot of attention. Look for a big second act from this artist.”
Tom Thornton, Riff Magazine
“The overall sound draws easy comparisons to modern gritty Americana artists like David Ramirez, Ryan Adams, and Jason Isbell. Byrne deserves to be in that company with his gritty vocal and poignant lyrical style.”
