Hey there everybody. I've been doing some acoustic shows lately, and putting a brand new band together. I'm also having fun sitting in with some great bands around Pittsburgh -including Tom Breiding and American Son, theCAUSE, Sandoz, Bill Toms, The Randall Troy Band, The Sweaty Betty Blues Band, Craig King, and lots more. Read on for some background info, See ya soon, -Patti.
Patti Spadaro is a creative, passionate guitar player/singer/songwriter whose bluesy soulful guitar leads cry, sing and wail. Patti's solo CD "Short Stay" combines catchy songs with thoughtful lyrics; infectious, syncopated grooves and plenty of ripping guitar solos and improvisation. Patti & Stefana Dadas share the vocals on the CD, and Patti wrote all the songs. "Smiles spread, filling the spaces between a thousand strangers faces" is a line from the CD's title track. Patti believes that music can bring people together, open minds, even make a difference in the world. It's also a whole lot of fun.
The band likes to open up the music and create a space where the whole is greater than the sum of the parts. "I love to improvise with a band", says Patti, "there is nothing like creating live and on the spot. Just letting loose and giving yourself to the music. The energy starts flowing, its a great way to really experience the here and now. Its so awesome when the crowd gets into it and dances. The excitement builds, people are having a good time together. Its so cool."
WestSide Life Magazine says "Spadaro...creates a dancing, twirling, good vibe atmosphere. Patti's guitar solo's are reminiscent of Eric Clapton and Carlos Santana". Relix Magazine calls Patti's playing "Shimmering".
Before moving to Pittsburgh, PA, Patti spent several years in the LA area as a full time musician, performing and recording with several bands and teaching music. She recorded two CDs with the Zookeepers, and toured all over the western US with them. The Zookeeper's CDs received a good amount of regional and national airplay. They performed on several local TV shows and were named one of L.A.'s top 5 bands by Fox-TV. Patti also recorded and performed with Sherby and Roger Len Smith, as well as several other bands. She performed as the opening act for Little Feat, The Young Dubliners, the Buzz Poets, Eddie Van Halen, and many others. Patti studied music and graduated from Musician's Institute in Hollywood, and also teaches and does session work.
