Acclaimed singer-songwriter Patrick Davis proudly announces the release of his latest studio album, Carolina When I Die, out today on BOC. With a storied career spanning more than two decades—encompassing both his work as a revered solo artist and a songwriter for luminaries like Guy Clark and Jimmy Buffett—Davis’ music has long been celebrated for its honesty, depth, and unmistakable Southern flair.
Carolina When I Die invites listeners on a personal journey through Davis’ Southern roots, weaving soulful storytelling, heartfelt lyrics, and rich musical textures. Standout tracks such as “Beautiful Day For Flying” and “Wrong Side of the Tracks”—the latter featuring a stirring saxophone contribution from Branford Marsalis—highlight the album’s dynamic range. The title track, “Carolina When I Die,” is both a tribute to Davis’ home state of South Carolina and a poignant ode to the universal bond between people and the places they cherish. The song’s emotional resonance is amplified by the presence of fellow South Carolinians Darius Rucker and Edwin McCain, who join Davis in honoring their shared heritage.
“Early on, I made my living playing songs in the corner of bars and restaurants across South Carolina,” Davis reflects. “Now, with this album, I’m reclaiming my dream. This isn’t just about someone else’s story—it’s about who I am.”
Building on his musical legacy, Davis continues to shape cultural conversations through his signature lifestyle events, notably Songwriters in Paradise, and via his recently launched TV series, Southern Songwriters with Patrick Davis. Season 1, which premiered earlier this fall, is currently airing in several major markets from New York to Los Angeles on PBS, APT, and SCETV.
