Overview

Hello There! Looking to enjoy folky indie blues with a splash of sultry jazz? I am affordably at your service! An average set consists of mostly cover tunes from Ray Lamontagne to tried and true Jazz Standards ( I try to always add my own touch of personal flare) and I throw in some originals as well..some banjo here and there. I am also happy to include any specific songs you might request!

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

One thing my jazz instructor from university taught me was to always read the room.
I am comfortable sailing along the back drop of the event, maintaining an intimate and personal mood or I can be more interactive and keep the atmosphere lively and enjoyable or I can straight-up flaunt what I've got and give the audience a show!

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.
