Patrick - Keyboards and Vocals

Patrick's musical career spans nearly 30 years.  His musical resume includes performances with the All Rights Reserved band while working for his Uncle Sam in the late '70s; It's My Party during the good 'ol days at M.S.U. in the early '80s; The Shades in his post college '90s years; along with countless nights as a journeyman substitute.  Patrick recently celebrated his 3rd anniversary as one of Rhythm 21's founding members.

Patrick's eclectic musical tastes span the spectrum of musical styles - including R&B, Motown, "Old School" Funk, Oldies, Classic Rock, Jazz and even a little country.  Left to his own, he leans towards two fisted piano playing with a smattering of organ thrown in.  But when the situation calls for it, he's not shy about reaching for some synthesizer for a little variety.   Ivory ticklers Les McCann and Herbie Hancock have been two of Patrick's favorite musical influences.

A technologist in the IT industry by day - Patrick's work with Rhythm 21 is the perfect opportunity to let down what's left of his hair!
