For three decades, Pat has played music professionally. He picked up the guitar after seeing The Beatles at the Cow Palace in 1965 at the tender age of 13. He has performed with many bands over the years, including 70's Stalwarts, Storyteller, Hooker and the Alameda Allstars with Brad Gillis of Night Ranger and Dan Chauncey of .38 Special. Pat pioneered the tribute genre by touring the U.S. with Max Pellicano's Tribute to Elvis from 1977-1978. He has shared the stage and wrote with Jan Hammer's sideman, Ivo. He received rave reviews playing with James Bondo, prompting people to comment on his Pink Floyd-like guitar style, which naturally lead him to play alongside his childhood friend, Mark Showalter, in House of Floyd. Pat has played and shared the stage with members of Meatloaf, Pat Travers, Night Ranger, .38 Special, Eddie Money, Greg Kihn, Mink Deville, Gregg Allman & Friends and Joe Satriani. Rounding out his many accomplishments, Pat played and sang opera with Christopher Pucci's tribute to Andrea Bocelli. Pat is also an accomplished songwriter and writes a monthly column for a local music magazine, Alameda Music Scene.

“What inspires me about Pink Floyd is their musical soul; the obvious expansion on the blues; the early psychedelic overtones; lots of theatre; and of course, the wonderful dedication of Pink Floyd fans.”
