Out of the Nowhere
In a country that loves its Celtic music, it’s no surprise that Surrey’s Pat Chessell has become known as one of the most exciting roots artists in Western Canada. Equally skilled at delivering a dance-inducing, powerhouse Celtic rock tune as a quietly heartrending East Coast influenced ballad, Pat’s rootsy vocal style, charismatic stage presence and expert musicianship (guitar) are making for an ever-growing audience of enthusiastic fans. While his mostly original music falls solidly under the broad umbrella of Celtic, Pat’s range is prodigious and eclectic. It’s been variously described as straight-ahead folk, upbeat Celtic influenced Canadian folk/pop, and moving mid and-up-tempo contemporary Celtic, among other labels.
