About Pat Balder...

As an accomplished singer/songwriter and producer, Pat has released six solo CDs over the last ten years and has produced many others.

Throughout his career he has been regarded as a prolific musical talent and songwriter.  Recognizing one’s desire for purpose, Pat’s non-profit ministry, Bigger Than Us, seeks to transform the human heart by sharing and celebrating the extraordinary experiences in our lives.

Pat's music contains an eclectic mix of influences -- Sting, The Beatles, Peter Gabriel, U2 and Billy Joel.  They've all influenced him in developing his uniquely original music.

Pat is currently working on his seventh studio project.

A Committed Artist…

“Pat Balder is a rare bird. Rooted in years of ministry to his local parish and spiritual community, he has learned the blessings of long obedience in the same direction.  Yet in the midst of the daily grind of serving and providing liturgy and worshipful arts, he has fostered a creative spirit that is rivaled by few in the music industry.

“After six projects Balder is still prolific…still committed to an artistic vision that goes beyond the bland and mundane popular track many musicians find themselves on, and most of all still sees his music and art and conduit for the human journey.

“Over the years, I have encountered vision and creativity in some odd places.  Whether it was Six Pence None the Richer (of "Kiss Me" fame) or Veggie Tales, I saw in each of these projects, a deep commitment to an artistic vision that was written deep into their DNA.  They could only do what they did.  They had no options.  My encounter with Pat has similar overtones.  His eye of the tiger, his veracious appetite for beauty, truth and goodness, and his commitment to offer it all up as a gift, make him an artist that stands above the fray.

“I cannot offer up a more passionate endorsement as I have been touched many times by Pat’s music and art but most of all by his witness and life. He is a man of integrity in the way he engages life.  This is rare in these times so I cherish this encounter with real joy.”
