STREAMING MEDICATION! ✊
Hey folks! Exciting news!
MEDICATION IS STREAMING! I previously released a raw version titled “Seumas,” but it deserves its original name for this re-release. Written back in 2003, the song has evolved over the years. On September 4, 2024, this version was recorded. We recorded the bed tracks live with one mic for the drums, keeping it raw and real. Collaborating with John Paul Peters on the remix was a blast, and I can’t wait for you to hear it!
In collaboration with the musicians who inspired my music journey and a special guest, I invite everyone to embrace the new year with a refreshed and amplified version of my song, “Eudora.” Originally inspired by my grandmother, this heartfelt piece embodies compassion and hope during challenging times.
This new version showcases a collaboration with my father’s band, Otis Wack, known as Eudora since 1974—celebrating their 50th anniversary this year! It features my father, Patrick Perry Patterson, on drums, alongside Ron Elliott on bass and Wade Calnek on lead guitar. This project honors our family legacy and highlights the enduring power of music across generations.
I am excited to have LA-based vocalist Stephanie Nicole, whose soulful voice enriches the track. “Eudora” was recorded at Crooked Castle Studios and mixed by renowned Toronto producer Dan Hosh. The video was filmed by Dan Fatu in Brighton, England, and reedited at Crooked Castle Studios.
I look forward to sharing this inspiring rendition with you all!
This is my “macro real-time view of humanity,” which refers to a broad perspective of society as a whole. The song “Sick of It” highlights how our ego has a pervasive influence on us and how much effort we need to put in to overcome it. I express my exasperation and frustration with the way we treat each other and engage in wars that ultimately worsen division and inflict suffering. The message conveyed here is that we are not yet ready to wake up and realize our faults as a society.

LOVE WILL FREE THE WORLD!!! The inspiration for Eudora, a project close to my heart, came from my grandmother Eudora Ileen Patterson. She was diagnosed with dementia in 2015, which led me to reflect on life and humanity. I found solace in reminiscing about my childhood and her wise words. Eudora serves as a reminder to listen to one another and to examine our relationships with ourselves, our communities, and the planet. To address the challenges we face, we must come from a place of love. In February 2017, I recorded my album A Search for a Sunny Day Project at Catherine North Studios in Hamilton, Ontario. Recently, while living in the UK, I met the talented Dan Fatu who produced this video. On a beautiful spring afternoon in Brighton, we brought together friends and volunteers from around the world who have dedicated their lives to spreading understanding, solidarity, and love through various means such as protest, poetry, teaching, organizing, and music. I am grateful for each participant’s unique contribution and invite you to watch the video and share some love. Thank you to Dan Fatu, and Catherine North Studios for their involvement in this project.
