Patrick Clifford (musician)
Patrick Clifford (born in New York City, 1966) is a musician, songwriter, and producer of Irish and folk music. He is best known as a key member of Four to the Bar[1]—a "well loved and well respected"[2] mainstay of the 1990s New York Irish music scene—he has also released two solo albums: American Wake and Chance of a Start. Clifford grew up in Washington Heights, Manhattan.[3] Like many contemporary New York Irish musicians, he received his earliest training from the renowned Martin Mulvihill,[4] (on piano accordion). His primary instrument with Four to the Bar was the bass, but he also added piano, guitar, and accordion to the band's sound, on both stage and recordings.[citation needed] As a songwriter, he wrote two tracks for the band's watershed album, Another Son:
He and guitarist Martin Kelleher are generally credited with the production of both of Four to the Bar's full-length albums; Another Son is notable for its elegance and Craic on the Road for its energy and atmosphere.[5] In 1993, he produced Sky in My Hand, the first release by New York folk singer/songwriter Liz Dacey. This recording was engineered by Virgil Moorefield.[citation needed] In 2008, he recorded, mixed, and mastered To the Fray, an album by the band Hobnail. He also played bass and sang on this release.[citation needed] Discography
