The Band

Pat's involvement with bands began during the '60s. Influenced by the new artists of the day, especially the Beatles, Blues, and R'n'B players and later Bob Dylan, he began to discover and develop his own singing and harp playing style. Since those early days, Pat has worked with other bands, and now with 'Running on Empty'. He plays examples of his best loved music from the Rock 'n Roll years.

Richard Champken Guitar.
