ICYMI: Patrick Droney Finds Fossils and the Bare Bones in Songwriting
Droney is no stranger to the Texas music scene, having frequented Antone's in Austin, shared the stage with Double Trouble, being friends with the North Texan musicians Jonathan Tyler and Alison Ponthier and having recently collaborated with ZZ Top’s Billy Gibbons on a reimagined cover of"Rough Boy.
This record is a tale of three cities, L.A., New York and Nashville. I grew up in Jersey, then I lived in New York, L.A., then Nashville. I’ve had the blessing to live in these different cities and take what they offer musically — they’re so diverse. Nashville is still a songwriters’ community, so lyrics kind of trump everything. Being here adds a bit of a premium on the storytelling. I really don’t think I would have had the articulation five years ago.
Ian’s incredible. Everything here starts in a writing room, so I met Ian as a songwriter. We wrote a song called"Ruins" from the first EP. We were like,"Let’s record this at our buddy’s house really quick," and that demo ended up being the exact performance that’s on the record. So from there Ian and I decided to make an EP and co-produce. That’s what I mean about the community here. Everybody’s so talented. The guy on the corner plays better guitar than me it’s so humbling.
John Mayer once said,"Songwriting is like lucid dreaming," and as a result, it’s difficult to co-write. What was it like co-writing"Nowhere Town" with Sarah Buxton?
