Energetic, infectious Pat Green bringing in his brand of country

Country singer Pat Green's nasally voice is infectious. It fills a room and makes you want to curl up and soak it in. His voice is equally matched with his energy, which brings to life such Texas country-rock gems as "Wave on Wave" and "Carry On" and the older pre-Nashville masterpieces like "Me and Billy the Kid" and "Take Me Out to a Dancehall." With him bounding about onstage, it's hard to imagine being able to curl up. So jump up and dance as Green plays a rollicking concert next Thursday, Dec. 1 at City Limits, 6350 E. Tanque Verde Road. Tickets are $25 in advance, $27 day of show through Ticketmaster, 321-1000; or the City Limits box office, 733-6262. Sidewinder opens the 21-and-older show at about 9 p.m.
