Patsy Meyer - Don't Stop Now (1999)

How do you create your own musical style? If you're three-time EMMY nominated Patsy Meyer, you blend soulful vocals with a vibrant stage persona...then mix it with your own brand of Latin/world percussion, and you have something unique and completely personal. The blend is working for Patsy...WLOQ in Orlando says Patsy has a 'familiar yet new sound....a great combination.' Checkin' the Charts says, 'this new artist is a real find'. The Louisville Music News says, 'she could sing the telephone directory and make it sound lovely'. Patsy released her debut CD, Don't Stop Now in 1998 to critical acclaim and terrific radio reception. Her second release, Hands Down, is in production and in addition to her distinctive voice and percussion, will include such notable musicians as Grant Geissman, Jeff Kashiwa, and Greg Karrukas.
