ABOUT Patsy & Dave

After seventeen years of making music together Patsy Toop and David Baird have now rebranded as simply “Patsy and Dave” (formerly known as The Long and Short of It).
Patsy and Dave are award-winning, country music singer-songwriters, from Melbourne. They first met at a charity fundraiser when Patsy asked Dave if he would sing a duet with her. The rest is history …..Their sumptuous harmonies have been described as “honey-coated chocolate”. This hardworking duo are true masters of their craft and they have built a legion of fans over the past seventeen years. They are refined songwriters penning relatable lyrics and inspirational music. Their captivating and engaging live shows have earned the adoration of fans and critics alike. In 2013 they headed to Nashville to record some songs and met and formed a friendship with famed country Producer Kenny Royster, (renowned for producing triple platinum recordings for Luke Combs). Kenny was so impressed with their work and special vocal blend suggested co-writing and what followed was “Midnight Choir” their 2022 album which achieved #1 on ARIA charts for Australian Country Music Album. 
In September 2024 Patsy and Dave released their new studio album The Willow which debuted at Number 1 on the ARIA Australian Country Music Chart and Number 1 on the national Australian Indendent Artist chart. The album features two duets including the title track The Willow, co-written and recorded with Australian music legend Russell Morris.
Russell shared “It was a pleasure to be invited to appear on "The Willow" album as I’ve been a fan of Patsy and Dave's music for quite a while. Their song Cowboy Lonesome from the "Midnight Choir" album is still one of my all-time favourites. This new album shows their great scope of talent and creativity".
Patsy and Dave will be performing at the Tamworth Country Music festival in January 2025 as special guests to Brian Cadd and plan on touring through next year their show “The Great Country Songbook” featuring many country classics and a selection of original songs from "Midnight Choir" and their latest album "The Willow".
