  • The North Carolina Press Association awarded Pat for his arts and entertainment reporting for the Queen City Verve in 2020, 2021, and 2022.
  • At the 38th Regional Emmy Awards, he won for his contributions to a Halloween commercial campaign for WCCB, Charlotte, which included a music video parody of Michael Jackson's "Thriller."
  • A longtime music fanatic, Pat briefly played bass—quite badly—for a punk garage band whose name is mercifully lost in the mists of time.

Experience

Pat began writing about the art form he loves so much in 2011. He honed his storytelling skills penning content about art, film, theater, and music for the alternative weekly newspaper, Creative Loafing Charlotte. Pat's penchant for revealing the stories behind the sounds that entertain and move us has informed his writing ever since. Since 2018, Pat has been a staff writer for the Charlotte newspaper Queen City Nerve, publishing articles on current events, culture, arts, and music. His first love remains music journalism and uncovering the stories that spark songs, sounds, and beats. Pat has also written about music for Strings Magazine, Acoustic Guitar Magazine, Ultimate Classic Rock, Ukulele Magazine, Ultimate Prince, and Classical Guitar Magazine.
