Pat Barrett

A singer/songwriter and worship leader at Grace Midtown in Atlanta, Georgia, Pat Barrett was first the primary songwriter and vocalist for popular Christian rock ensemble Housefires before striking out solo. After embarking down a solo path in 2018, Barrett broke new ground commercially with Billboard-charting albums like 2021′s Act Justly, Love Mercy, Walk Humbly.
Barrett was a founding member of Housefires, who formed in 2014. The band released five live albums and found success with the Matt Reynolds and Barrett-penned single “Good Good Father,” which soared to the top of the CCM charts in 2015 when Chris Tomlin recorded his own version of the song. In 2018, Barrett became the flagship artist for Tomlin’s Capitol Christian Music Group imprint, Bowyer & Bow, and released his eponymous debut album, which featured collaborations with Steffany Gretzinger and Amanda Cook. Live album Canvas and Clay followed the next year, and in 2021, Barrett’s third long-player (and second studio set), Act Justly, Love Mercy, Walk Humbly, was released. The album reached the number 11 slot on Billboard’s Top Heatseekers chart in the Religious category. ~ James Christopher Monger
