Saints Crossing
A rock and roll music passion project from singer/songwriter Patrick McCormick.
My goal is to create the best rock album of 2023! It’s 40 years in the making and the musicians who have collaborated on this record have made it possible! So many of my favorite bands stopped releasing new music so I thought I’d do my best to at least try to touch the torch and with any luck help fan the flame.
If you love great rock and roll music I think you’ll love this record as well.

Special Thanks
Bobby Ferrari – Thank you for your killer ear and killer sound! You are a lot of fun to work with while getting down to business with the great musicians you brought in. More good times to come!
Richard Fink ~ (Throga founder and Vocal Coach) ~ Thank you for the awesome vocal lessons! It has been a lot of fun working with you a few times a week for several months to get my voice into shape. I couldn’t have done this without you. You brought me a long way.
Johnny Cummings ~ Thank you for working with me. Writing songs with you is amazing. You are a true natural. The way you took our songwriting sessions and knocked out killer demos from them is what made this record happen. I hope to do it again soon.
Christian Brady ~ Thank you so much for taking some of my raw demos and turning them into your own and making them fucking killer! You’re a hell of a solid player and I am grateful Bobby Ferrari reached out to you for this project. These songs went from novice to pro!
Bobby Rock – Thank you for taking a bizarre introduction and playing drums, only the way you can, on this record. I’ve listened to you play on albums for close to four decades now, and I’m in awe that you came in, knocked this out, and crushed it on my record! Check out bobbyrock.com to keep updated!
Terry Nails ~ Thank you for coming in to play. Bobby knew you were the perfect guy to lay down the bottom line. You give these songs the style and depth they need. Your rock and roll stories are killer too!
Sara Thiele ~ Thank you for cheering me on when you were visiting Bobby’s studio. You brought your magic keys to these songs and made them fun, interesting, and dramatic.
Bruce Kulick ~ Thank you for recommending Bobby Ferrari. You said if I sent in some demos and if he thought they were any good, he’d make them great! Man were you right! And thank you for playing on four of these tracks, it’s a true fan’s dream come true. I love what you added to these songs.
Eddie Ojeda ~ Thank you for adding your killer lead style to this record. You added the Twisted Hot Sauce to the mix! It’s always great talking to you
Gavin Patrick ~ Thanks son for inspiring me and your interest in the same guitar players and bands I grew up with and tuning me into new ones. You’re an awesome player and a great songwriter. I’m stoked that you are a part of this!
Tom Kunzman ~ Thank you for your help with the song arrangements and adding the killer texture to the choruses and other backgrounds.
Kait Kunzman ~ Thank you for your awesome background vocals and voices in my head.
Thank you Shannon for Thirty Years In The Making! I can’t believe you’ve stuck with me for so long.
Thank you for all your inspiration Marisa, Michaela, and Gavin! You all truly inspire me!
Thanks, Mom for being my biggest fan! You took me to see the Doobie Brothers and Elton John when I was a kid and got me hooked on rock and roll.
And thank you to all of my friends and family who have supported me along the way!
