Pat is a recently returned veteran of the Florida music scene. After several successful years playing everywhere from Bullwinkle’s in Tallahassee to the Button South in Hallandale, Pat moved to L.A. to pursue a career writing and performing original rock in late 1988 following previous fellow Plain Jane band mate Jani Lane of Warrant fame. 2004 found Pat returning to Orlando, “Central Florida has always had a very close musical community and it’s great to be able to enjoy that again in my life.”
“With Iced Down, it’s about old friends coming together to hang and play music. I’m excited about what may happen on any night, we like to keep it open and take some chances. We’re entertainers and a big part of that is letting it happen; it’s about the moment.”

I'm serious... go to www.beaverfelton.com and read for yourself, plus we don't have enough room to put it all in this little box or just check out some of his you tube stuff;
Richie Parker started playing guitar at age 13 in Daytona Beach, Fla. He jumped at every chance to play with anyone at any time. He moved to Orlando to start a career in the Retail Music Industry in 1986.
Working his way through every retail store in Orlando and still playing weekends in bands such as “Flash in The Neighborhood” and most notably “The Big Unit”, he settled as Store Manager for Thoroughbred Music in 1996.
After realizing he’d gone as far as possible in the retail industry, he set out to start his own Entertainment Merchandise / Advertising Specialty Business. He’s now President of Go Getter Marketing LLC located in Orlando, Fl.
He continues to enjoy playing music for fun and truly believes this is by far the best project he’s ever been in!
Local rockers may remember Steve from the rock band “Barrage” ,from back in the days of The FBI , Fern Park Station & Janie Lane’s.
After the A circuit died down & he was tired of being a broke, homeless musician, he settled down with his family & started his own business , Stevens Kitchens.
But you can’t stop rockin once it’s in your blood, so here I am again to play a little music with some old friends. No better high.
Shawn started playing the drums in local venues back in the early Eighties. He played at the "O.P. (The Other Place)", "Ocean Deck" "Main Street Pier" and many other venues on the East Coast--especially during Spring Break week! (Remember when MTV and the rest of us spent our spring breaks over at Daytona Beach?)
Shawn left his haircut, combat boots and cammo shorts behind for college at FSU, marriage, children and career.
After not touching a set of drumsticks for over 16 years, and creating a career in the software industry, Shawn met a new employee--Pat Bloodwell. Between Pat and other friends who were involved in local bands, Shawn was pulled back into the music scene--first sitting in for a song or two--and then starting to re-create his identity as a musician. In recent years Shawn has been the "beat" for many different local bands, before finding his groove with "Iced Down". So, when Shawn is not managing the development team of a Fortune 500 company, you'll probabaly find him on stage in the Central Florida area.
"The greatest part of this band is that it's just FUN and I feel privilaged to share the stage with such a talented group of musicians"
Classic rock is HUGE; from the Guitar Hero and Rock Band video games to the reunions of The Eagles, The Police and Van Halen.
Iced Down is here to bring you back to those days of classic rock by the same musicians who created that South East Live Music club and concert scene during its 80's heyday.
From Fern Park Station and the Point After in Orlando to Mark Twain's and the 49th St. Mining Company in Tampa/St. Pete; from Bullwinkle's in Tallahassee to the Button South in Fort Lauderdale. Hailing from acts like: Hoochie, Chimera, Barrage, Los Angeles & Gypsy Child; Iced Down consists of a “who's who” of some of the key players on the scene during that heyday time in Florida's music history.
Why settle for wanna-be's and posers for your event when “Iced Down” is available?
Hey "special" friends! I hear a cold front is moving in and Orlando is going to get "Iced Down." Ha, get it? Ok, that was horrible. Anyway Pat, haven't seen you in the store in a bit. Stop in and say hey sometime. To all you other cats, stay "cool".
Thanks! And thanks for letting me play, it was TONS of fun. Extremely rare to see a band that plays cover tunes with such solidity. Cant wait to see you guys again!
Long live Steve X !!! Peace bruthas, You guys are lucky to have Steve, a glowing spirit and all around good guy, not to mention he sounds better than ever! Hey... where'd that guitar playing come from?
