"Tobacco Pat (real name, Logan Farmer) is a singer/songwriter from Jacksonville who leans toward Americana... dark, foreboding Americana."

"This is folk music without a sugar coating. Tobacco Pat's guitar sometimes has an ominous tone, and his words are as raw as the lo-fi recordings."

"Logan Farmer doesn't look old enough to have a name like Tobacco Pat, but that's what he calls himself. That's OK. He's got a really nice slice of Americana going. Kind of sincere, kind of irreverent: 'Hope I die in a big canoe with a girl in my arms and a song for you.'"

"I find The Destroyer EP is focused with a coiled energy, Farmer is less hushed and pushes forward and at times is almost howling into everything without losing control.   “The Truth and The Stream” comes in waves and still manages to bring hushed moments before finishing the tale (all the while a second voice simply repeating the lyrics deep in the background).   You really feel the angst in “The Vault” with Farmer truly pulling emotion I have rarely heard (his chant of “You’re just like them, just like them…” makes you feel as if you would see the spittle of betrayal flying from between his teeth!) – refreshing to this old folky!"

"Not ever being in Southern Florida, I can’t say for sure, but the dark, foreboding Americana coming from Farmer is both gothic and gorgeous but doesn’t conjure up images of azure ocean and palm trees."

"Jacksonville singer/songwriter Logan Farmer (a.k.a. Tobacco Pat) is back with The Destroyer – the final EP in his Apocalypse series on ways that the world may end. According to Farmer, “The Destroyer is more hopeful but sinister than its predecessors…Its lyrics are less personal than The Plague and more philosophical than The War.” Both The Destroyer and the EP series itself are raw and edgy, pulling no punches, and feature some great new indie/lo-fi folk from up-and-coming, creative new talent. Do yourself a favor and check out Tobacco Pat at www.tobaccopat.com for a free download of the Apocalypse EP’s"

"Tobacco Pat (a.k.a. Logan Farmer), is a young singer/songwriter from Jacksonville, FL who crafts tender introspective songs with elegant melodies. Farmer’s music evokes the lyrical mastery of both the contemporary (Bright Eyes) and classic (Leonard Cohen and Bob Dylan). Tobacco Pat has released two EP’s, The War and The Plague, and his full length Everything Will Be Oklahoma is due out in September. The EP’s are apocalyptic documents about how the world may end. The War has a richer quality whereas The Plague is more sparse and lo-fi. Tobacco Pat is an up-and-coming talent showcasing dark, foreboding Americana that is gothic and arresting."

There is nothing I enjoy more than the opportunity to champion new unsigned acts. Guys like Logan Farmer a.k.a. Tobacco Pat deserve a platform on sites like ours just as much as the those who have the hype and backing of industry PR machines. Hailing from Jacksonville, Florida he has been making and producing his own songs since the age of fifteen.

His output is pretty prolific and there are two full-length albums and a trilogy of EPs available for free download from his website. Not content with this, Logan even directed his own video for ‘World Gone Wrong’, the lead single from his latest long player Talk To Me Like The Rain and Let Me listen. This was the track that really blew me away, with its apocalyptic politics bubbling beneath the surface.

Not content to rest on his laurels, Logan has already recorded a follow up titled Vimanas, to be released in the next few months with proceeds going to various non-profit organisations. I listen to thousands of tracks over the course of a blogging year, and ‘World Gone Wrong’ is up there in my top 50 for 2010.

"Tobacco Pat is tender and emotional with vocal melodies at times minor but also reflective and introspective. His lyrics are in the style of the great musical story tellers, painting a picture of the vulnerable years of post-teenage life."
