'City Life' was recorded in San Francisco and in Melbourne by talented Australian lead singer and studio session singer Patrick Nankervis. Exciting, melodic pop/rock/soul mix of originals songs and re-worked covers with plenty of surprises. 'City Life' features great artists such as Paul Hester (Crowded House - possibly the last CD Paul played on), Geoff Bridgford (legendary Bee Gees drummer) Harvey James (Aerial, Sherbet, Clapton Band, Jimmy Barnes), Ben Haymes (Pseudo Echo) , Sandi Hunti (Rick James band) , and members of San Francisco Symphony Orchestra on some tracks.

 Released in 2005, 'City Life' is an independent CD release that has been sold in 14 countries. Some emails include the following: ANDREW MON HUGHES (CEO, Top Hat Records, U.K.) "Thanks for the copy of 'City Life', which I've been playing pretty much constantly since it arrived. You've covered quite a range of styles and you sound awesome no matter what you're tackling. Its a great piece of work with a nice mix of originals and covers. The original songs are outstanding and the CD package looks great".

LYNE GAGNON-RUSCIO (Ontario, Canada) "Hello Patrick. Your music is fantastic! I particularly enjoy The Lucky Son and love the way you sing Rock Dog. You have a knack for varying your style and sounding great no matter what."

SANDRA JONES (Wales, U.K.) "Patrick, I am so excited by your CD. I love it. It is full of energy and excitement. You have a fantastic voice - you really know how to sing. I adore the way you sing The Lucky Son. You should be more famous than you already are. Congratulations."

 MEREDITH WYATT (Melbourne, Australia) "I listened to your CD last night. I just wanted to let you know that I thought it was great. You have a fantastic voice."

 MICHAEL LOEFFLER (San Mateo, California, USA) "The songs, the voice, the selection, the words, the sounds, the graphics are fantastic. You have sooooooo much talent. All your songs are in my head now and I can't even begin to pick a favorite."

YUZURU YAMAMAE (Japan) "I'm writing this email as I'm hearing 'City Life'. Its a great CD. Your voice is beautiful and the arrangements are great. Are you influenced by the band Chicago? I love your CD."
