About Me

Patsy has been singing all his life and playing ukulele half as long. He remembers as a kid hanging out and jamming with his insane (in a good way) older siblings and cousins in B'klyn singing doo-wop and Motown. Patsy likes all kinds of music, especially jazz, old jazz-pop, blues, country, R&B, folk, rock, reggae, classical, and everything in beween. He tries to incorporate some of these different genres in his sets, with an emphasis on the popular vocal music of the early- to mid-20th Century. Where's his CD? He's waiting....
