Patrick James Signs With Alberts And Create/Control

Port Macquarie-bred troubadour Patrick James has inked a global publishing deal with venerated music publishing institution Alberts.

That announcement has come almost simultaneously alongside a new distribution deal with the local legends at Create/Control, with whom James previously collaborated on his Broken Lines and All About To Change EPs.

"I have made close and important relationships at Create/Control," James said in a statement. "I'm looking forward to working with the team for my album release."

James' debut full-length album Outlier is set to hit physical and digital formats via Create/Control on Friday 16 October, with James kicking off a national tour in support of the album (and The Paper Kites) one night prior, on 15 October, at The Gov in Adelaide.
