Years of private lessons throughout his musical career led him to become the first part/lead player in both the Jazz band and Concert band at C.B.C. High School by his sophomore year. During his later years in high school, Pat wrote music with bands that played gigs in Jefferson City, Columbia, Kansas City, Cape Girardeau and many other parts of Missouri while balancing an athletic schedule that included numerous varsity sports teams. Shortly after attending college at the University of Missouri (a brief stay I might add), he moved to Phoenix, Arizona for a college music program and a fresh start.
In Arizona Pat met Jeremy Doyle, a fellow musician who would take Pat’s songwriting and musical understanding to the next level. After graduation, The Dou (trio) relocated to Las Vegas where they would complete their college internships at Production Resource Group, the largest production equipment provider in the United States. After being hired they worked in the hot warehouse for several months then eventually parted ways with the company and moved back to their hometowns.
Shortly after arriving in St Louis, Mike Baer and Pat Hilton formed the band FLASH CASSIDY. The band is currently touring and has released a Debut Album that is available now. Look for them to hit your town in the near future and request them on your local radio station.
