Pat Horgan is a singer, songwriter, guitarist from Cork, Ireland. The latest project, ‘Tennessee Embrace’ is a solo album of original material which was recorded in the legendary Studio A in the Sound Emporium in Nashville. Cowboy Jack Clement opened the studio in the 60’s and in the intervening years, a whole host of music A-listers have recorded here including in more recent times, Robert Plant, Alison Krauss, Yo-Yo Ma, Taylor Swift, Elvis Costello, Don Henley and Willie Nelson. Tennessee Embrace features some of Nashville’s top session players whose credits include John Hiatt, Steve Earle, Elton John, Kings of Leon and Stevie Nicks. All 11 tracks are originals, songs of love won and lost, protest and despair. Lots of cheerful stuff there in true Nashville country style with an Irish accent! The album was mixed in Nashville by Andy Most, and mastered in California by Ruairi ‘Flaherty. In recent years Pat wrote the theme music for the Creedon Show on RTE Radio 1, Ireland’s national station, for which he also wrote and presented a number of radio documentaries on Woody Guthrie, Leadbelly, Song Collectors, and other music related subjects. Pat performs over 150 shows a year around Ireland and Europe solo or with the Dizzy Blues Band based in Cork, Ireland and Los Hombres Aturdidos in Spain.
