New Orleans, LA, USA

Patrick Cooper is a singer/songwriter from New Orleans, Louisiana. The son of a North Louisiana Hillbilly and a South Louisiana Cajun, he has been playing guitar and singing in public since he was 12. He started performing in his home town of Shreveport, Louisiana and then later moved to Baton Rouge where he began writing his own songs. In 1988 he moved to Santa Cruz, California (where old hippies go to die). He played in coffeehouses, bars, restaurants, wineries and at private parties as a solo performer or in duos at numerous venues throughout the West Coast. Feeling the emotional tug of his home state, Cooper moved back to Louisiana in 2011 and resides in New Orleans. He opened for David Egan at the legendary Maple Leaf Bar in Uptown New Orleans (2011) and played at the equally legendary Tipitina's in New Orleans (with Crossing Canal) in 2016. He also opened for Darrell Scott (with Bob Worth on lead guitar) and David Bromberg at The Manship Theatre (with CC) in Baton Rouge.
