Glory Winds

Glory Winds is the mouthpiece and music project of 22-year-old singer/songweaver /composer Patty Chung. Born and raised in Phoenix, AZ, Patty's musical life began in a small piano lesson studio for kindergartners, and continued throughout adolescence with the acquisition of her first guitar. In a decade of music saturated with alt-rock and boy groups, she found resonance in her subversive predecessors -- RiotGrrrl, protest singers, and guitar wizardry of masters such as Joao Gilberto.

At the age of 18, Patty moved to New York City to attend college and there collected many strangely authentic moments with friends, strangers, and musicmakers. After a brief stint in a songwriting circle, she began receiving local attention, stopping bar chatter and clinking glasses alike with her peculiar songwriting and unusual adeptness on the guitar. But it was not until she first visited the Sidewalk Cafe's infamous "antihoot" open mic night that Patty would soon learn of DIY ethos, and unlearn "rules" of songwriting from the all-inclusive antifolk community. The influence became immediate with the release of a self-recorded EP Willow Houses, and a more interactive stage show involving an audience-as-band approach. In 2007, Patty relocated to Los Angeles to find a new niche. The sudden isolation, disconnect with her peers, and further discovery of lo-fi music subcultures led to 8 track EP 3/3 Time (And Other Foolish Notions). With a modest recording setup in her bedroom-- as well as the inception of Oddball Rolling, her own mail order indie label-- Glory Winds is an imaginative conduit through which Patty experiments with lo-fi craftsmanship, songwriting rebellion, politics, and the half-imagined.
