Bio
Patrick Smith is a self-taught pianist who had his first gig at age fourteen. Throughout high school, he played the explosive Highway 61 blues corridor between Vicksburg and Greenville, Mississippi, having to sit outside the kitchen door or in the parking lot during set breaks because he wasnt old enough to stay inside the bars. Patrick honed his skills by playing constantly and jamming whenever he could with the now-legendary Beanland on riverboat cruises on the Mississippi and playing with JoJo Herman of Beanland and Widespread Panic fame while in college in Oxford, Mississippi. Now, Patrick often tours with the Dirty Dozen Brass Band. Heavy touring keeps Patricks own band fine- tuned as they currently perform over 100 gigs per year. The Patrick Smith Bands music is funky, bluesy, and soulful, but rocks. The Patrick Smith show is electric and kinetic. You won't help but be moved.
