Chapter One

Compelling soul connection…

After touring with stars like Bobby Caldwell, Gino Vannelli, Smokey Robinson and two-time Grammy winner Diane Schuur, Patrick Lamb is one of the most exciting break-out artists in the world today, with multiple Billboard hits. His newest single “Horizon Line” marks his first self-produced production — added to SiriusXM Watercolors out of the gate, and most-added to Billboard Radio. Patrick's nonstop tour schedule says everything you need to know about the demand.
