| Patti Davis The Entertainer August 29, 1998 Atlanta, GA Opening for such huge stars, as the Bellamy Brothers, is just the right kind of stepping stone, that is leading to a successful career for this young woman from New Jersey. Patti Davis had lived in California for a number of years, where around the age of eleven first picked up a guitar and singing, really never knowing what could be down the road for her. Then her musical influences leaned toward the Eagles and Emmy Lou Harris. As time went on she began writing and singing which Patti refers to as, "mellow country". Patti now performing up north recently did a showcase at the Bluebird Cafe in Nashville. Her sound is good, clean, country folk. She has a very diverse quality to presentation. I hear an Emmy Lou Harris ring, but as a friend of mine said, who has heard Patti, "a touch of Crystall Gayle". The blending is good and makes for extremely easy listening to these original songs ranging from lively toe-tapping country to soft ballads. "Smoky Mountains, I'll Be Coming Back To You" did exceptionally well in Europe, making the charts overseas. Patti Davis has won the New Music Show contest, sponsored bv WYNY in New York. There has been a new light on the horizon for Patti Davis. Recently Patti was informed that Airborne Records, out of Nashville was interested in hearing more of this young country singer, so things may be happening for this singer, songwriter. I feel if she takes from all the experiences she has had and add it to the one she is going to have, Patti Davis can easily find a comfortable place in country music. _________________________________ Victoria Forrest Appeared with the Bellamy Brothers Band at The Rodeo, Dunwoody, Georgia |
