Why do I think I'm cool? (I feel like I'm writing an essay for senior english.) I'm a 40 year old housewife trying to make a name for myself in a 20 year old world. That world being the music industry, country music to be more specific. I had my 2004 Toyota Sienna minivan wrapped with a picture of me. When I go through carpool all the kids yell, "That's Patti and Penny's Mom." The songs on my album are geared towards the Moms, not the kids. However, Stubborn is a favorite of my daughter's second grade class and Your Love is a favorite of my sixth grader and her friends. My husband's favorite is Takin' the Wheel. Mainly because he thinks that it means I'll drive and he can sleep. I've had some success nationally with secondary radio. First single Just Another Day went to #56 and the second single I'd Leave Me went to #39.

The video for Just Another Day has been selected for CMT's Music City Madness. I am competing for the title of Best Unsigned Country Act in America. The winning entrant will receive an all-expenses paid trip to CMT’s Nashville studio to record her own episode of UNPLUGGED AT STUDIO 330, CMT LOADED’s original online performance series. In addition, the winner will receive a private audition with Sony BMG Nashville's A&R department. To vote go to CMT.com and click on Interact.
