Pat James has been featured on various TV Shows, including Good Morning Arizona, and has opened for such acts as Doug Supernaw and Asleep At The Wheel. Other performers have joined Pat on stage from time to time, including Lou Rawls and members of The Sons of the San Joaquin. On an unexpected visit shortly before his death, even Waylon himself could not help but smile and nod his approval at Pat's rendition of "Good Hearted Woman."
Out of state performances include shows in Fort Worth, Texas at the famed White Elephant Saloon and the Rio Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas. In 2004 and 2005, Pat has been the headliner of many festivals in Europe. He also performed at the Planet Hollywood in Paris, France, and in Amarillo, Texas at the 2004 & 2005 Coors Cowboy Roundup Rodeo Ranch and at Grahams Central Station.
In March 2005, he released his second CD "It's My Life", recorded and mixed at Chaton Studio in Phoenix by Otto D'Agnolo, Emmy award winning producer/engineer/writer.
Pat recently has been selected by the editors of Indie-Music.com as one of the "Top 25 Artists of 2006".
Some reviews :
- "...If anyone ever asks me again what country music is, this is it. This is country ... hard boiled, Texas styled country music ...This is country in the tradition of Haggard and Price, of a time long gone, traditional ... and the man knows from where he comes ... exquisite!... "

- "...I've finally found a young country singer from outside of my home state of Texas that is a HOSS ! I can now excitedly add Pat James to today's list of shufflemasters...Pat is right up there with them in vocal ability and musical selection. It's like finding a treasure you didn't know existed..."

- "The second CD by this Phoenix based country crooner transports you back to the days when dusty western honky tonk music stubbornly thumbed its nose at corporate Nashville. What happened in the 70s has the same effect today in Pat's talented hands. Pat's Elvis tinged but wonderfully rustic voice jerks tears from your eyes in "Farewell Party" while "I'm Gonna Be A Cowboy" will have you s**t kickin' all night."
By Mark Waterbury, Music Morsel
- "...Nothing can hold back or pull the plug on a talent such as Pat's... it's a force bigger than the "suits" who decide who will or won't be a "Star". Pat is already a star in his own right. You only need to listen to his music to understand that..."
