An Irish singer-songwriter, Pat Byrne has come a long way since his first deal with Universal. In late 2017, Byrne began his migration to Austin, Texas. In 2019, Pat took the US by storm, with breakout performances at the 30A Festival, SXSW, Kerrville Folk Festival and the Americana Festival. Being immersed in the Texas music scene, Pat's sophomore US release, Into the Light, has an edgier feel underscoring both emotional depth and greater confidence, while blending new influences with his rich Irish heritage.

“When you combine the transcendent poetry of Bob Dylan with the gritty, real-world rock-n-roll storytelling that Bruce Springsteen made so famous, and then add a dash of the political activism embodied by Woody Guthrie and Pete Seeger, you’ll have Irish singer-songwriter Pat Byrne” — Folk Alley at the 30a Songwriters festival, Florida 2019

R.O. Shapiro is a new familiar fixture in the Mendocino Coast music scene, and at Good Bones in particular. He is a troubadour, a traveler peddling original tunes of love, loss, and social justice, carefully crafted and soulfully sung. A New Yorker, an Austinite, and now a Californian, he’s always on the lookout for new communities and stages where he can share his authentic warmth and wit.

Pat and R.O. are old friends from Austin, but this will mark only their second ever co-bill, coming hot on the tail of their first on November 8th at Hopmonk Tavern in Novato, presented by highly-regarded Bay Area promoter K.C. Turner. It’s a real treat to get Pat up to the coast, we hope you’ll join us for a night of heartfelt songs after the Third Annual Caspar Lantern Walk!

Doors at 5pm (or at conclusion of Lantern Walk). Music at 6pm. Sliding scale cover $10-$30.

Beer, wine, and food will be available for purchase from the bar.
