"An artist with tons of talent and range...we can't wait to see what he does next."
Kendra lane - Deitra Magazine
Pat Ryan Key is a survivor. Driven by authenticity, the award-winning songwriter and record producer is a versatile and passionate vocalist and multi-instrumentalist. The Arkansas native has a unique style all his own as a blended mix of "some funky Muscle Shoals groove, Stax Records soul and Northwest Arkansas roots", per Sean Clancy of the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette. Inspired by many artists including Robert Johnson, Roy Orbison, Jimi Hendrix, Marvin Gaye, Lenny Kravitz, and T Bone Burnett. "[The] variety of music flavor profiles ... [keep] the listener engaged. If you don't have the lyrics stuck in your head by the time you are done listening, well then give it time," Cait Lambert of The Brain Drain Ditch.
