Greetings from Orcas Island, Washington, I'm glad you stopped by. I'm an Indie musician/songwriter, and a current member of BMI. I've been a working musician for many years, and I've been fortunate to perform and record with some very talented people. These days I focus on my own music, and helping other Indie artists.

A couple years ago I took a break from my band The Suspects, to work on some solo projects. Our mainstay was a southern rock/blues sound, but we always made room for some tasty folk and acoustic tunes. The Suspects.. Don Irwin/ Keyboards, Marty Williams/Drums, and Tony Carpenter/Bass..have always supported my original music, and are present on various tracks. WPFD.

My influences are many..Blues, Rock, Southern Rock, Folk, R&B, Celtic and Latin. It's all good, and all about the groove. There's great music to be found in every category, as long as it's got a groove. That's why I don't feel the desire to be bound by any particular genre. I write what I feel..when I feel it.

I'm a story teller, so I'm pleased when I write something the listener can connect with. I hope you take time to hear some of my work, I welcome your comments. Thanks for listening. Peace, Pat
