At 8 p.m. on Sunday, July 9, Pat Green will take the stage at the Beaumont Club in Kansas City, Mo. Green is continuously increasing in popularity as he tours with artists such as Kenny Chesney, Gretchen Wilson and Keith Urban. The country artist has appeared on the Late Show with David Letterman and has also been featured in magazines including People and Esquire.
Green, who is originally from Texas, didn’t begin his singing career at the top of the celebrity ladder. Instead of immediately shooting for fame and fortune, Green took a common-appeal approach to his job. Playing live performances to win the support of fellow Texans, Green was able to gather a group of loyal followers. His wish was to produce independent albums. This aspiration led him to sign his first major label contract with a company in New York. Green was able to have more freedom with his songs by selecting the smaller label.
During his contract in New York, Green recorded his first five albums: Live at Billy Bob’s Texas, Three Days, Wave on Wave, Don’t Break My Heart Again and Lucky Ones.
Recently, Green signed with BNA Records and is now striving to make his name known to everyone. Even though he has received three Grammy nominations and is going to be touring with the Dave Matthews Band in August, Green still hasn’t reached as many people as he’d like to. Green’s new album, Cannonball, will be hitting stores this August. “Feels Just Like It Should,” the first single from the upcoming album, was the highest-debuting single on the Country Charts this year, making its appearance at No. 32. If this is any indication of the album’s success, then Cannonball should give Green the extra push he needs to achieve the level of major country star.
The show is open to all ages, and tickets cost $19.00. Tickets are available through ticketmaster.com or by calling (816) 561-2560.
