Pat Green, a native Texan and graduate of Texas Tech
University in Lubbock, got a bit of a late start in music
considering he didn’t begin writing songs until he
was 18 and didn’t start playing seriously until his
college years. Green started off in dancehalls, bars, and
clubs, and his popularity in venues like these has never
wavered even after Green became more famous and mainstream.
Green is one of the top performers in the live setting
and his ability to write songs that almost any fan can
relate to has pushed his popularity further and further
along. Green caught a break of sorts in 1999 when his live
show at Willie Nelson’s July 4 th picnic caught the
eye of numerous people. Even without a big-name label and
the support that accompany it, Green was able to sell more
than 200,000 copies of his work in his first five years.
His dedication was apparent to the people at Republic Records
and they signed him to a major deal. Since that point,
Green has been able to tour on a much grander stage and
his work can be heard by more people in more places.
