PLAY, FOOL

Music for everyone, music for others. A life against the current. No genre in music! It is too simplistic to give a genre to everything!! Music is an expression of human emotions and it is necessary to learn to understand humanity in its complexity.

In the tradition of the great acoustic bluesmen of the early 20th century, Pat doesn’t own many pairs of shoes. He likes to write and play music. When he’s not writing or playing, he’s listening to artists like Townes Van Zandt, John Prine, Charlie Parr and Missississiisisippi John Hurt. Pat dreams of one day owning two pairs of shoes. And of being able to spell.

I've been a bass player most of life. Always loving music. Always having a need to play. Now I’m also on the 6 string guitar and playing a little keys, but I always have my bass by my side. I'm not doing this for money or for fame. I simply love to play, write and record. Always having good time doing it. 

I’m also a graphic designer and illustrator and you can check out my work at patsofra.art or @patsofra on instagram.

Multi instrumental player, Composer and Producer.
