Merry Christmas to everyone. Thanx for all your support. It’s been a very busy year writing lots of new songs. The album is 90% written. I can’t wait till next year to share the news songs with you all.

I Just Wanna Make Love To You– Patrick Sorrentino

In the last post, I said that I would soon be doing some acoustic solo gigs. That usually means a photo shoot lol. Here are the best. I’m not at all a photogenic person, so many shots need to be taken haha.

I know that it has been a while between drinks but that doesn’t mean that things have not been happening. I have been hard at work writing songs for the album. There are so many songs that it’s sometimes hard to keep up. When working on an album I like to write a lot of music. This gives me more options in the final production. All I can say at this point in time is that Blues will have a strong influence on this new album.

In the last few months, I’ve also been working hard promoting the first two singles (see below) and I must say that I am overwhelmed by the oversea support, particularly in France and the US. “Just Wanna Make Love To You” has been playlisted on a number of radio stations, Meuse FM, Dynamyk FM and Radiokc FM (France) so, merci beaucoup pour le soutien en France. Both singles have been played on the US station Amazing Radio. Also, last year I did an interview for a US magazine called ‘Beyond The Gravestones.’ That month I was the magazine’s featured ‘Ghost Guitarist‘. Cheque it out:

So thank you to the lovely Christina Corsetti and Katie Annette Heart for all your support.

Locally, I want to send out a very special thanks to Sue Hedley and Mark Thurston and the crew on Mega Music TV for their ongoing support. They have played both my videos on multiple occasions, I really appreciate that as well as the interview I did with Vince Contarino.

Future Gigs? Many people have been asking me, ‘When are you going to do another gig?’ Well, that is a difficult question to answer. At the moment, I’m extremely focused on finishing my album. Also, the expense of putting on a show. I could go on a rant about the local music industry/venues, but I won’t. Let me just say that as a solo artist, the financial burden is mine to carrier and I believe that the people who play with me deserve to be paid for the many years of work they have put into developing their skills. Having said that, I’m excited to say that I am looking a doing a few acoustic solo gigs. A sort of ‘Patrick Sorrentino Unplugged’ Lol so stay tuned for the next instalment. 🙂

What an amazing evening! Last night Michael Leigh came over and played some didgeridoo on one of my latest songs called ‘Byroad Blues’. The results in really cool. The song is a bit reminiscent of the Robert Johnson classic ‘The Crossroads’ but my story also takes some influence from the Greek legend of ‘Orpheus‘ and Australian Aboriginal ‘Dreaming Stories.’ There is a bit of a sneak preview of part of the intro to the song below 🙂

Hi everyone. I don’t often do gigs. That’s because when I do, I like it to be a special event. What better occasion than a special birthday! So, on the 29th of October (1 month after my actual BD) I’ll be celebrating in the beer garden of the Duke with a special Birthday show. ‘The Mind Block’ will start the night and my band will come on after. This time I am fortunate to have the magnificent, Tracy Dowden (Final Touch) on Keys, an old mate Nathan Bills (Open Slather) on Bass and Herb Schmidt (The Ring Ins) on Drums. So, we are in for a great night. Oh! Did I forget to mention the release of my new song ‘I Just Wanna Make Love To You’.

Updated 22/08/22

Well, it’s finally out! Finally, because this song was written back in April while I had COVID. It was recorded two weeks later and it has been sitting there ever since. I had planned to release a different song as a follow-up to ‘A Dream Is All It Was Mean To Be’. But then I thought that I might release something totally different. More light-hearted and fun. So I wrote this . ‘I Just Wanna Make Love To You’. Don’t try to find any hidden meanings in this song. You won’t find any! Just go for the ride and enjoy it for what it is. The video will be out in a couple of weeks.

On Friday the 15^th of July we started filming the video of my new song ‘I just wanna make love to you’. The song was recorded about 3 months ago while I was in lockdown with COVID. I wanted to do something totally different and more lighthearted than the last one ‘A dream is all it was meant to be’. The song hit 1k views on YouTube in under 2 weeks which is amazing for a first release and very little promotion.

This new video has been plagued with many setbacks but is finally on its way. We had such fun filming it. It is set as a garage band rehearsal but as the video progresses the green screen will introduce other visual elements to the video. As always I could not have done any of this without the help of all the beautiful behind me.

From left to right: As always, Grant Tucker on camera, Holly Marling on Drum, me on Guitar Vocals, Nathan Bill on Bass(Open Slather) and Tracy Dowden on Keys (Final Touch)

The shots below are a taster for the video to come. Thank you so much to beautiful Kristen Lochert for letting me use your garage. Love you.

As I way say it’s not just about the end goal. It’s about the journey and the wonderful memories you create and the people you’re with at the time that is important.
