As a young musician, and a 2006-7 McKnight Fellow, Patrick is quickly gaining a reputation for his versatility, innovation and eclecticism. His goal as a musician is to create new sounds while respecting and preserving the heritage of a diverse world...Zydeco, Gypsy Jazz, Tango, Blues, Western Swing, French Musette and Klezmer. His personal music style is as eclectic at they come, often fusing many ethnic elements into other forms through improvisation. Sometimes the result is melodic and flowing, at others, a unique fusion, but always wonderful.
