~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Since forming her own Bandolera Records and releasing her self titled debut album to rave reviews, Vonne has forged a statewide performing circuit while also opening shows for Los Lobos, The Flatlanders, Joe Ely, Alejandro Escovedo, Buddy Guy, Raul Malo of the Mavericks, Jonny Lang and Pat Green.
Vonne has also earned the admiration of her peers, joining her mentor Tito Larriva of the Cruzados-who she pays tribute to with her song "El Cruzado"-for a European tour with his band Tito and Tarantula in the spring of 2002. Vonne returns to Europe for her 6th tour in October 2005. www.patriciavonne.com
~~~CRITICS CORNER~~~~~~~~

" Superior roots-rock" Uncut magazine

"a beguiling storyteller - if her debut was flat out stunning, call this a knockout"
Harp

"Imagine a young Chrissie Hynde fronting the Mavericks with a little
help from Calexico".
WORD

A Tex-Mex spitfire with a rock 'n' roll heart, this San Antonio native plays a border-crossing, bilingual mix of flamenco flamboyance and down-in -the mud exuberance that's a Lonestar original.
John T. Davis /Austin Amercian Statesman

"Patricia Vonne's latest recording is a bilingual tour-de-force. It melds eclectic with electric and exudes an elegance seldom associated with rock. Vonne is quickly taking her place among Texas' musical treasures."
Margaret Moser / Austin Chronicle

"This Austin chicana's lilt has a bit of the border desert in it and her down- on- drag tunage no doubt knocks 'em dead whenever she makes it to Lubbock, and her voice is thankfully as suited for Nashville as for No Depression.
Chuck Eddy / Village Voice, NY

"The San Antonio native's confident, tuff gal vocals, sharp musicianship and smart lyricism don't just promise the total package, they deliver the goods from the get-go."
Joe Nick Patoski / Senior Editor
Texas Monthly magazine
