Formed in late 2004 by songwriter Chris Patterson, Leaving, TX has rapidly come to life in the Washington, DC music scene. The band has somewhat of an international flair as Patterson is joined by bassist Garry Cecil (Edinburgh, Scotland), drummer Thor Smith (Halden, Norway), and guitarist Andrew Buhler (Miami, FL). With 100 Miles To Sunday this original alt. country outfit delivers a clever blend of twang-rock with a healthy dose of classic country. The album is driven by Patterson`s rugged, in your face vocal style, ripping Telecasters, and sweet pedal-steel. Anchored by a tight, driving rhythm section, this powerful group of musicians allow Patterson`s songs to shine. Americana-uk.com exclaims "It`s Hard not to like the record...Throughout fiddles, guitars, pedal-steel, and Patterson`s voice add up to an excellent (disc)." (Lucky Range)
