"Grey Skies Blue" (written by Miles Zuniga) is a simple, stripped down song about heartache. It's beautiful melody is brought to life by an intertwining male and female vocal. The production is simple, less is more! Acoustic Guitar, Bass & Drums. Recorded live in Austin, Texas. The song was written after a lover had to move away, ending a relationship in it's infancy.

“Pat Byrne, “Marfa Skies.” The Irish expat who moved to Austin two years ago celebrates the desolate beauty of West Texas by contrasting it with big-city bright lights in this lovely folk-pop tune. Recorded at Rich Brotherton’s Ace Recording studio, the track features a harmony vocal cameo from Betty Soo and gets an extra boost from a black-and-white video that reflects the song’s disarming sincerity. This exceptional outtake didn’t end up on Byrne’s full-length release due later this year, which suggests the album will be something special. ” - Peter Blackstock

ABOUT
PAT BYRNE
An Irish singer-songwriter, Pat Byrne has come a long way since his first deal with Universal. In late 2017, Byrne began his migration to Austin, Texas. Immersed in the Texas music scene, Pat penned several new songs and released the "Rituals" LP in October 2018. In 2019, Pat took the US by storm, with breakout performances at the 30A Festival, SXSW, Kerrville Folk Festival and the Americana Festival.
“The raspy melodic soul of Byrne’s voice recalls the emotional spells the late Austin troubadour Jimmy LaFave used to cast, though Byrne’s songwriting bears a distinctive Irish stamp. He’s more contemporary than strict traditionalists, putting him more in the league of Glen Hansard or Luka Bloom.”
Peter Blackstock, The Austin American Statesman
“Pat Byrne lives in Austin and traffics in the kind of earnest roots rock championed by artists like Shakey Graves. His voice and songwriting chops show the reason he’s attracted a lot of attention. Look for a big second act from this artist.”
Tom Thornton, Riff Magazine
A sophomore LP due out in early-2021, has an edgier feel underscoring both emotional depth and greater confidence, while blending new influences with his rich Irish heritage.
