Our first date was on Valentine’s Day in ‘86, and we’ve been together ever since.” “We spoke at a break and we started dating rather quickly after that. Throughout the performance, Esten recalls locking eyes with Patty and making sure she knew he was singing the song right to her. I said, ‘let’s play “Romeo and Juliet” by Dire Straits,’ which is I think one of the most romantic songs in the whole wide world.” So I called an audible to my band and I canceled whatever song we were about to play. She had always looked very taken she was a good girl like that. I remember just looking at her and going, ‘I don’t think she’s dating someone anymore.’ She just had a different look in her eyes. “And I looked out in the audience and there she was. “I was performing with my band at a show in the campus center ballroom,” he continued. So I would hear this moped arriving by, and that would make my head spin,” he shared.Ī post shared by Charles Esten then explained that Patty had her heart set on someone else for nearly the first three years of college, until one day, he noticed something in her and changed. She was actually born in Naples and raised in the States, but went back there for high school. She had come from Italy, although she’s a blonde and her maiden name Hanson, but her mother was from Naples. “I knew I had seen her freshman year, just the most gorgeous girl I’d ever seen. At the time, Esten was in a band and although Patty was in another relationship, she still was someone who always caught his eye. Their love story began back when they were both attending The College of William & Mary in Williamsburg, VA. It’s not the most hard-edged of sentiments, but it’s fun to be able to rock something that you feel so deeply,” Esten shared of his latest tune.

“I look at it and I’m just incredibly grateful. The tempo starts out slow, but as the chorus approaches, it shifts to a more upbeat and rocking tone that has him singing of his pride toward the one who holds his heart. I guess she was my one good move,’” he shared of the moment that sparked the idea for this song.Ī post shared by Charles Esten lovestruck vocals stand at the forefront of the glowing instrumentals that highlight his talent from the background. I somehow managed to hang onto this wonderful woman that is my wife. I was a foolish guy and I made a lot of bad decisions, but then I just corrected myself. I said I would not have survived everybody carrying around a video camera in their pockets. “I was just saying how I didn’t envy them, being so young now. While surrounded by fellow songwriters, Esten found himself reflecting on the “One Good Move” that led him to capture the heart of his college sweetheart and now wife of 31 years, Patty. The brand-new track was co-written by Esten with Sam Backoff, Zarni deVette, and Elise Hayes during a writer’s retreat. On Friday (March 3), he unveiled his latest creation titled, “ One Good Move,” which sets the tone for his forthcoming independent debut album.

However, aside from his successful acting career, Esten has also been pouring his heart into his music career.
