Patrice Pike @ Michigan Womyn’s Music Festival

So, this isn’t really much news, because I’m pretty sure Patrice Pike was established to play at Michigan Womyn’s Music Fest long ago.

But it gives me a springboard to explore the amazing mass of talent this woman unleashes.

Patrice Pike is a super-chick hailing from Austin, TX. She’s got a much award-winning songwriting capability that she flexes in one of my personal favorite songs, “Hopeful Morning,” co-written by Wayne Sutton. She owns the pop-ish folky genre, and even puts claw marks in the rock genre. Ultimately not “right” for the band whose third member/lead singer was decided in CBS’s reality show Rock Star: Supernova, Pike remains unhindered and as full of kickassery as ever, having been given positive reviews throughout the course of the competition and advice to take on a solo career.

Oh, and did I mention she’s bisexual? No shock to me or anybody who knows my musical preference, of course. I must be doomed to falling in love with the music of bisexual and gay women everywhere.

So, run out, pick up a CD or two of Patrice Pike (I personally recommend her with her band, Black Box Rebellion, on the CD named Live at the Brushwood Lounge). Also, be sure to arrange a stop by the music fest in August should you live in Michigan. I want pictures and videos.
