Patrick Park grew up in Morrison, Colorado as the eldest of two sons. He was exposed to the arts at an early age his mother was a published poet, and his father was a doctor who enjoyed playing folk and blues records and the guitar at home, Park himself began to write songs in his early teens and played in bands . He moved to New York City to try and start a music career, but left after less than eight months for Los Angeles, working numerous odd jobs that ranged from clothing store retail clerk to karate teacher to support himself. In 2000, Park completed his first demo collection, now known as “The Basement Tapes”. He recorded the songs in the back of a store owned by a friend’s girlfriend since he did not have enough money to use a studio.
Patrick Park’s manager (Jason Reynolds) had a baker’s dozen hours worth of video he shot while Patrick Park was touring heavily in 2002-3 and approached me with doing a video. The intent was to have a short montage music video that was also a candid tour film documentary, and it includes Patrick with The Polyphonic Spree, as well as other chronicles of this period of his time on the road. The footage was sorted thru, digitized and edited within a week’s time. His latest album is ” Love Like Swords ” PATRICK PARK performs the song “LOVE LIKE SWORDS” for BalconyTV
