Patrick Brayer has released thousands of songs and nearly a hundred self released records, as well as one on Shrimper a few years back. When you visit his Blog, Field Notes From Wrongtario, you will see and hear the artifacts of his life. Photos of him with Bill Monroe, music and photographs he has created ad hemming it all in, his writing. For an artist that has written within the economical confines of a song, and Brayer’s lyrics stand alone on a page, it is an epiphany to read his first work of fiction, one of magical realism and truths centered around Fontana, California that make up The Coin Cold Heart . Sentences inhale and exhale a few times before any sort of exclamation or period puts an end to it as Brayer utilizes the chicken wire frame of Aesop to spin this fantastical yarn. Check out the trailer for the book featuring a reading by Brayer from the book. The Coin Cold Heart book is out worldwide on August 12th on Bamboo Dart Press.
