About Patty: If you can imagine Sheryl Crow meeting Bonnie Raitt in a corner bar as they kick back a few cold ones with Lucinda, then you’ll have no problem envisioning Patty Blee pulling up a stool and fitting right in.
Her husky voice, confessional songs and roots-based sound have earned her numerous comparisons to such artists. Displaying a distinctive guitar style full of bass lines and grooves, Patty intertwines memorable melodies into mid and up-tempo songs of love and longing. A wide range of influences are evident in her musical palette– blues, folk, Celtic, country, and rock. Music meant to move the soul…Patty Blee sepia554_35907023375_7380_n
