Listen for yourself:
Music - its my passion and my joy. It can bring people together, open minds, and make a difference in the world. It's also a whole lot of fun. My 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, there is nothing like creating live and on the spot. Just letting loose and giving yourself to the music. Its so awesome when the crowd gets into it and dances. The excitement builds, people are having a good time together. The energy starts flowing, its a great way to really experience the here and now.
Here's some info about me and the band:
The Patti Spadaro Band plays bluesy jam-rock with wailing female lead guitar. Good groove, good vibe, lots of improv, and great musicians. Patti has released several CDs and performed all over the country. Drummer Janelle Burdell worked with Mikey Hart of the Grateful Dead, toured with Broadway musicals, and did sound design for The Other Ones. Our newest addition, Denny Karl is not only a killer keyboard player, he's a music grad from Duquesne and also plays with the Mandrake Project. The band plays Pittsburgh & surrounding area clubs, including P.D.’s Pub, The Thunderbird, Moondogs, and Cefalos, and summer festivals. We're also having fun sharing the stage with some other great Pittsburgh performers, including Tom Breiding, theCAUSE, Jill Simmons, and One Gig at a Time.
Patti Spadaro is a creative, passionate guitar player/singer/songwriter whose bluesy soulful guitar leads cry, sing and wail. "Smiles spread, filling the spaces between a thousand strangers faces" is a line from "Short Stay", Patti's CD's title track. 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 performing and recording with several bands and teaching music. She recorded two CDs with the ZOOKEPERS, 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, Eddie Van Halen, and many others. Patti studied music and graduated from Musician's Institute in Hollywood, and also teaches and does session work.
