Pat Waters is a Texas-born American country singer, songwriter, and performer whose sound stays true to the roots—shaped by icons like George Strait and Alan Jackson and driven by themes of family, faith, and hard work. Whether on record or on stage, he delivers the kind of honest storytelling that feels real because it is.

​

Country to the core, Waters builds his music on the genre’s essentials: authenticity, grit, and a deep sense of place. Twang-forward guitar, fiddle-led melodies, and pedal steel flourishes give his songs the edge of classic honky-tonk and the swing of old-school Texas dancehalls.​​

​

​At the heart of it all is an unmistakable Lone Star spirit. Often praised for “keeping it country,” Waters leans into a straightforward, unpretentious delivery—no flash, no filler, just the truth in the song. A sixth-generation Texan, he draws from small-town heritage and the pioneers who defined the honky-tonk tradition, grounding his work in the culture that raised him.

​

That commitment has earned him recognition on the Texas Music Charts and a loyal audience of listeners who want their country music uncompromised. In addition to influences like George Strait and Alan Jackson, he draws from honky-tonk greats such as Faron Young—and a range of Texas country contemporaries—for influencing his clear lyric delivery and story-first style.
