Pat Green et The Castellows

Green spent his youth growing up in San Antonio, and his love of music grew under the influence of his father, a former Air Force Officer and stage actor. Whilst attending Texas Tech University, Green began performing at local bars and clubs, whilst loaning money from his parents to record a number of self released albums locally.

After being fired by his stepfather from his job as a fuel wholesaler, Green was forced to fully commit to music and was shortly spotted by country legend Willie Nelson, whom he joined on tour. After playing Nelson’s annual 4th July picnic in 1998, Green started to gain national recognoition, and was swiftly snapped up by Universal.

In 2001, he released his debut album “Three Days” but it was his sophomore effort, 2003’s “Wave on Wave” that brought Green his first taste of major success. The title track of the album reached number 3 on the Billboard Country chart, and the album was certified gold. The following year, Green recorded and released his third studio album “Lucky Ones” which was also a chart success. It was his final album with Universal. During the span of his first three albums, Pat Green toured with some of country’s renowned artists, such as Keith Urban and Kenny Chesney.

Green moved to BNA Records, releasing his first project with them, his fourth studio album, “Lucky Ones” in 2004. He released a further two albums with them up to 2009, with all three of his BNA albums reaching the Billboard top ten. His most recent album, entitled “Songs We Wish We’d Written II” was released in 2012 on Sugar Hill Records.

Outside of his musical output, Green has released a photo book, called “Pat Green's Dance Halls & Dreamers”, which contains various pictures of Green at various shows with other country stars.
