Overview

Looking to enhance your event with versatile live music? A typical set consists of classic to contemporary tunes, familiar deep cuts to Top 40. My indie-folk, jazz, & blues influences combine to create a musical experience that enhances the moment without overpowering it. With over a decade of vocal training, I provide rich, soothing vocals & deft fingerstyle acoustic guitar, offering a sound that is engaging yet never intrusive.

If you have a specific theme in mind, I can accommodate virtually any genre!
For all inquiries, I want to cater to the clientele & am always happy to include any specific songs you'd like your guests to hear!

Amazing talent and wonderful person!

I'm so glad we found Patty! Her voice and guitar skills are incredible. She learned 8-10 songs just for us, and put her own spin on them (and they were better than the originals!). She's also just a really nice, genuine person.

Perfect!

Patty was a pleasure to work with leading up to our event. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to attend the conference we hired her for, but I received so many messages from my colleagues telling me how amazing she was. I would 100% recommend hiring Patty for your event.

What to expect

I am comfortable sailing along the back drop of the event, maintaining an intimate mood or I can be more interactive, providing a lively atmosphere. When appropriate, I can straight-up flaunt what I've got & give the audience a show! I can usually tell which approach is best to enhance the event, but am highly receptive to feedback and requests!

Influences and inspiration

Some modern artists I really admire include:
Andrew Bird: Multi-instrumentalist,primarily violin. With hints of swing, folk, New Orleans jazz and indie rock his style is distinct: always surprising, always heart wrenching.

Melody Gardot: jazz/blues artist with timeless vibrato and exquisite control. Her music is therapeutic.

Fleet Foxes: intensely genuine indie folk with a touch of psychedelia. (reassuring harmonies) My favorite music in an intimidating nature setting.

Ani Difranco- singer songwriter/ poet. So very inspiring and groovy. Something of a feminist icon.

The Civil Wars: Male and female Americana duo. Their harmonies are the cleanest, sharpest and sexiest I've ever heard! They have an ability to express that I aspire to greatly.

Ray Lamontagne: blues and folk singer songwriter. A big gravelly voice he knows just what to do with! His music is warm, soulful and sensitive

Artists from before my time:
Bireli Lagrene- Child prodigy in the 80's, he has a guitar picking style all his own and still holds true to the familiar and entrancing qualities of Gypsy Jazz.

Sergio Mendez: has an incredible ability to demonstrate the essence of traditional music from sooo many world cultures. Practically a musicologist.

Led Zepplin: I didn't know what rock and roll was before this band. Very raw and very honest and each member possesses some very impressive skill!

Bob Dylan: not everyone is a fan, which I can understand about the slouchy voice and not the most dexterous guitar style, but he is an impeccable story teller and a lyrical virtuoso.

The list could go on...

Setup requirements

All I ever need is a mic, a mic cable and an amp. I can usually provide them myself.
