"One of the strongest contenders to emerge on the alt.country scene in years" - ONTAP MAGAZINE
Gripping vocals, intelligent lyrics, and songs filled with memorable hooks are what you will find with the LEAVING, TX. This original alt.country outfit delivers a clever blend of cutting edge “twang-rock” mixed with a healthy dose of country. The band is driven by songwriter Chris Patterson's rugged, in your face, vocal style, ripping telecasters and sweet pedal steel all anchored by a tight, driving rhythm section. This powerful group of musicians allow Patterson's songs to really shine.
Songs about life, love, and the bottle… Intelligent lyrics, strong instrumentation, raw whiskey-soaked alt.country have caused this DC-based quartet has come on strong over the past year gaining regional, national, and international attention. Their debut CD "100 Miles to Sunday" was released in January of 2006 and quickly rose to #8 on the Euro-Americana Charts. "Anywhere on Good Roads", the bands sophmore effort will definately take the Boys from LEAVING, TX even further!
