Some people talk the talk about a career in music. Pat Shea “walks the walk.” As his CD “The Road Less Traveled” details with beautiful and haunting complexity, Pat Shea has journeyed far on what poet Robert Frost called “the one less traveled by.” Shea will bring a Christmas Concert to the Mongerson Theater on December 12 at 8pm. Presale tickets are $8 Children 12 & Under / $15 Adults. Tickets at the door are $10 children 12 & Under / $20 Adults.
Pat Shea came to the attention of fans across the United States and Canada when he triumphed over nearly 200 other competitors, week after week on the nationally televised “Star” talent search. Emerging as the champion and grand prize winner, Shea went on to appear numerous times as a guest on the popular television show “Nashville Now.” Shea was also flown to Ft. Worth, Texas to tape an hour long concert at the world famous “Billy Bob’s” for the televised “On Stage” series. He recorded his song “The Lord May Take Me” for Polygram Records, which was released to radio nationally and internationally.
Shea’s critically acclaimed CD “The Road Less Traveled” has received airplay not only in his hometown of Buffalo, N.Y., but across the U.S. and as far away as The Netherlands and Australia. ” A voice like polished teakwood”, “Exquisite songwriting”, “Pat Shea belongs in the big time!” are just a few of the exclamations critics have used to describe Pat Shea. His dynamic live performances spark standing ovations in his headlining concerts, as well as when he has shared the stage with other national recording and touring artists such as Vince Gill, Alabama, Wynona, Travis Tritt, Kenny Rogers, Lee Greenwood, Tanya Tucker, Anne Murray, Emmylou Harris, Lorrie Morgan, Ricky Van Shelton, Restless Heart, Suzy Boguss, Sawyer Brown, John Berry, Holly Dunn, Commander Cody, and Asleep at the Wheel.
In 2004 Pat Shea was inducted into the New York State Country Music Hall Of Fame.
