"The raspy melodic soul of Byrne's voice recalls the emotional spells the late Austin troubadour Jimmy LaFave used to cast, though Byrne's songwriting bears a distinctive Irish stamp.  He's more contemporary than strict traditionalists, putting him more in the league of Glen Hansard or Luka Bloom."

Peter Blackstock, The Austin American Statesman

​

 "Pat Byrne lives in Austin and traffics in the kind of earnest roots rock championed by artist like Shakey Graves.  His voice and songwriting chops show the reason he's attracted a lot of attention.  Look for a big second act from this artist."

Tom Thornton, Riff Magazine

​

"The overall sound draws easy comparisons to modern gritty Americana artists like David Ramirez, Ryan Adams, and Jason Isbell.  Byrne deserves to be in that company with his gritty vocal and poignant lyrical style."
