She quit the University of North Texas (while attending on a scholarship), formed the band Little Sister (which evolved into Sister Seven), and has been writing, playing, and touring ever since.

This second of three “Songs and Stories” episodes with Texas songwriters features a conversation with Dallas native Patrice Pike. She discusses life on the road, the pros and cons of being on a label vs being independent (both have their merit, she says), and how she’s looking forward to a little fall downtime as her 2007 tour winds down.

Here are some links to go with the show. I mention these in the podcast:

• Patrice Pike’s web site
• Her CDs Unraveling, Fencing Under Fire, and Live at Brushwood Lounge
• Sister Seven
