Know Patrick Droney? You're Welcome.

[@magnoliatholsapple]

I've known and been listening to Patrick for over 10 years and he has a sound all his own. His guitar skills are amazing and the vocals are so full of feeling and depth. It's been an honor watching his star rise. You did him proud.

[@jasondejong3062]

Discovered this dude a few years ago and was very impressed! I’ve always thought he was like a cross between Mayer and Johnny lang, so good!

[@christianmetal5150]

Found this guy on a Spotify playlist like a year ago and now I can’t stop listening to him!!! He is such an amazing artist!

[@timjx3675]

Picked up on him 6 years ago strangely from his Fender demo vids - a real talent.🎸🌟

[@Gr0wfl0wers222]

Finding this video a year later and only recently found Patrick Droney at the end of 2022. Lemme tell you I jumped on getting tickets to see him in Toronto real quick. Video def resonated!

[@CarolineJonesMusic]

He’s one of my current faves. Such a class act too

[@Guitargate]

For sure!

[@aaronshortmusic]

I met Patrick at one of his gigs in NYC down on Bleecker Street. He played a great show and was a really nice guy too!

[@chrismattsonmusic2067]

Patrick Droney is a gifted player, singer, and writer . Have had the opportunity to see him live at the Troubadour and he was fantastic !!! Thanks for promoting him !!!

[@TomsonTheOne]

Finally! I've not had an artist hit my musical nerve the way Patrick does since the early John Mayer days. He has some great live performances out there, as well!

[@paulgolding8873]

Yes to this 🙌

[@Rowsk0518]

I honestly find comments like this incredible. I've said to my mates and Family John Mayer is special and speaks to me, they feel nothing... Live in the Nokia Theatre still blows me away 10 years after hearing it. Then I found Patrick around 18 months ago and said the same. Again nothing. There is some vibrancy to this music / these musicians and only certain people see it and feel it. Awesome.

[@FJD894]

Yes, I know & love him. Great to see you discover him too!

[@beckycooper7628]

Just saw him in vegas a couple of weeks ago- had me smiling and crying- He has been the soundtrack to my life for the past year or so. I just can't get enough- love every single song he sings- such a soulful singer and song writer. I listen to him every single day :)

[@northscott]

This had me in seconds. Absolutely mind blowing. Thanks again Michael for introducing another artist that may have gone under my radar. So many of my favourite artists have come via this channel. Thank you once again.

[@JacobL25]

YES!! Patrick Droney has been a favorite of mine for a long time and I’ve been waiting for you to do one on him!

[@araphelt]

Michael - I never comment, but love the breakdown of how the walk up & walk down in the chorus tie into the lyrics. Love the channel. Keep it up.

[@thearistolife]

I’ve known of Patrick since his teenage years. Great musician.

[@SethsProject]

Just found Patrick a few weeks ago, and he is already one of my favorite artists. I’m actually going to be seeing him live in a few weeks. I was actually thinking I wish you could review his music, so I was pretty surprised to see that happen lol

[@jwsibelievehikeandfly2272]

Music is therapy to me. Even know i have no idea what you are talking about with the notes and all, some how it makes perfect sense to me😂 Your education is bringing a whole new meaning to music for me!!!!!!!!! Thanks!!!!!!!

[@Rafal_Soboczynski]

That was by far my favorite recording of High Hope, such a shame I can't find it on youtube anymore. If anyone has a link to a working version, please let me know.

[@heitorkajioka]

Tried looking for it too and couldn’t find it anywhere. Shame.

[@JIAbbot]

Michael: you surpass yourself with this video…your channel’s offerings keep getting better and better. You are paying the musical blessings all around us forward. May your days and nights always be blessed, musical brother.

[@ceruleanfish6703]

Thx J.I. you say why I come here so well. Michael consistently brings new talented artists on to highlight and does the analysis of the music, awesome! Thx JI, and thx Michael...😁😁

[@proletariatbourgeoisie9929]

Hot DAMN that was some tasty playing. What a gorgeous, soft tone with that lush reverb too. Very John Mayer-y to my ears.

[@MisterSausage1]

I don’t know but thank you for introducing! Your channel has opened me up to a world of lesser known guitar gurus. Keep up the great work!

[@CopenhagenGuitars87]

Patrick Droney is amazing!

[@billvillamusic3625]

I’ve watched a bunch of your vids … subscribed. This is my favorite … the way you break down the song structure. Great work 👍

[@kpuliatch]

It’s always a treat Michael , the insights , and sharing your feelings of gratitude in the paying it forward.

[@AimeeStarr]

Awesome! Thank you for introduce him!

[@SteveRastaCahillconcertnetwork]

Been listening to Droney for a few years and am flabbergasted why he’s not huge. I have ‘High Hopes’ he doesn’t change too much when he is ‘found’ by the masses. Excellent review and you certainly know your way around a guitar brother! One small correction though....he sings wear it like a morning robe (not rose) I believe🤔😉

[@mattryan4850]

Love how much character the space adds to this version of the song. Prime example of playing to the room.

[@veganlion4328]

Beautiful ... The line got me was "does your soul need a tourniquet" just letting the guitar sounds breathe soooo much love it

[@dallaswiginton]

Love your vids. I’ve watched many of them but it was awesome to see one with PD!! He’s been one of my favs since I found him right before his debut ep dropped!

[@mjmason75]

Watched your video about a year ago and fell in love with Patricks Music. Thanks Michael!! Was just watching some of his videos and this popped up again! 🙂

[@mikay1997]

YESSSS!!!! I have been saying this forever!! Patty is the best musician i have ever heard. The music, the lyrics, the soul.... it is unmatched!! This is the energy we Droney fans are looking for!! Thanks for sharing your expert opinion in this space!!

[@michaelyaeger1395]

Man. I can't play a lick of music, but I get it. You are so damn good at explaining and added bonus of finding great artists because of it. Thank you.

[@moonface978]

If I had the means , I would fly across the world to listen to Patrick play

[@srt10h4rml3ss]

excellent find Michael via Jason, I've listened to some of his other stuff after this...his voice and tempo would be really great on a vinyl release if he could manage it :) His first show was with James Brown apparently, fella is talented, I hear it in his voice delivery as well. Thanks again Michael !

[@garycarter6773]

The title of the song is "High Hopes". I believe Michael did say it but I misheard/didn't understand what he said. The version I found has a female backup singer and a piano player.

[@Rowsk0518]

Found Patrick through John Mayer, seems like a well-trodden path. His strat' work is simple but perfectly blended imo. There's a beautiful simplicity to letting the guitar complement rather than define the song. And he does that perfectly. I've always found High Hopes to be a bit of an ode to Jeff Buckley. Very good!

[@History1977]

I was asked for the same song from him and huge thx for making this video mate🙏🏼love it.

[@Nikoo033]

I personally enjoyed the control he exerted over his voice. Just the right amount of vibrato and emotion where needed 🥰

[@jacobattias8401]

I think of patrick droney as a modern day Bruce Springsteen

[@garycarter6773]

That was fantastic!! Bravo! :)

[@shankrl1]

This is inspiring both me to go and write, but also to go and quit songwriting. So so so good!

[@BroKEnCaPSLoCk1]

I hear a lot of Mayer in there but also Chris Stapleton and Paolo Nutini. Very cool

[@thebobbyeleigh]

Yes! I hear the paolo too!!! Wondering what the mix I was feeling with Mayer and def paolo. Thank you for saying that!

[@courtmarr5714]

I had 0 idea who he was, now I do, thank you for that. One of the most tasteful guitarists out there, and he's brand spankin' new!

[@bsmith8943]

Thank you. Hadn't heard of him. Thank you

[@kastellaun1]

Oh yeah. Sweet! Thanks Michael.

[@DiNoRuMp27]

I’m seeing him tonight in Portland. So excited!

[@tylerw5144]

YES! Discovered him a few months ago and I love what he does kind of up John Mayers alley

[@CrPio167]

Damn this song gave me chills

[@bdaulerio7245]

He’s from my home area in NJ. I saw him play when he was a little kid doing Battle of the Bands and he had a ton of write ups in the local newspaper. Kid has always been super talented. Fun fact, his dad played with Bill Withers ok live performances of Ain’t No Sunshine.

[@kitkat3878]

Such a great and current guitar inspiration for me. If you ever decide to do another video on him, I recommend reviewing his song "Stand and Deliver, Live from State of Heart EP Release Show." You wont regret it!

[@patrickrobinson9552]

We need some new stuff - Talk About That - Little By Little and Like The Water please. This dude is good!

[@joshallenatomictransport]

Like the water….amazing song!

[@GrafStorm]

Nice breakdown, thanks MP!

[@curtisshemm2528]

Great video!

[@bigbrother458]

Are you kidding? He made me buy a Fender Mustang 90 with his incredible demo few years ago, and i love his music since this time. He has a nice voice, write well written songs and has this John Mayerish touch on his live performances, especially on the song "Ruined" where he is doing great bluesy solos

[@joshallenatomictransport]

PATRICK DRONEY-LIKE THE WATER

[@amjrpain919]

Welcome indeed!...👏💯

[@TravisThompsonlmft]

Anyone else know of performances like this? I'm partial to a solo song like this with electric bluesy vibes and a soulful voice

[@americanvikingr7726]

I tried looking through you channel and didn't really see anything by hardy. He is one of my favorite artist right now and he is doing a mix of country and rock. Would love to see a reaction of BOOTS off of his A ROCK album (Edit) he writes a lot of songs for big artist in country and decided to take an attempt at singing his songs instead of just writing for everybody Completely different artist, Cody Johnson. He is a new artist and has a very Strait feel to him. Classic country from a new artist

[@virginia.malone]

I hope YOU'RE having a good day, Michael!

[@CollinGravesPersonal]

He’s our modern Jonny Lang! Love this guy.

Question? Are you familiar with the songwriter Jack Tempchin? He wrote a bunch of songs for the eagles like peaceful easy feeling and Already gone.... he also wrote this huge 70s hit " slow dancing and swaying to the music" ( i forget who had the hit with it but this version is so intimate that you realize how perfect a song it is...kzbin.info/www/bejne/nnObeYGglLKigbc
