To say that Patti
Parks has taken the Western NY region by storm since her arrival
on the scene in 2005 would be an understatement. With 5 nominations
at the 2007 Buffalo Music Awards, steady airplay on Buffalo/Toronto
Blues Radio with her singles Cheating Man & Happy You're
Mine, a win at the 2006 Memphis Bound competition (Earning the
band a trip to Memphis to represent NY in this international
competition), along with constant performing, you could say
this powerhouse performer hit WNY like a HURRICANE! An Electrifying
performer, Ms. Parks has armed herself with some of the top
musicians in the Buffalo/Toronto area. Weather Patti is at large
festival, an intimate club or sharing the bill with musical
heavyweights such as Kelly Hunt, and Grand Funk Railroads Mark
Farner, her live performances are engaging, high energy affairs
that always leave the crowd wanting more! Currently putting
the finishing touches on her upcoming CD, Patti Parks plans
to bring her own brand of smoldering Blues to not only her home
region, but to the whole world!
The Patti Parks Band in one of the WNY regions most versatile
and experienced groups. Comprised of musicians who know how
to keep a crowd jumping all night long. The first thing you'll
notice about the Patti Parks Band is how much they seem to enjoy
playing with each other. Their mutual respect and comradre is
obvious. "These guys feed off of each other musically,
it's quite something when they get rolling" says Patti
of her seven piece ensemble, "They are always watching
and cheering each other on, it's really great".
Patti Parks music is a standout in the Buffalo/Toronto Blues
Scene. In a circuit flooded with very talented guitar/rock/blues
bands, The Patti Parks Bands full and tight sound, with high
energy performance, and the Soulful and Heartfelt vocals of
Patti Parks, gives Blues lovers a great option to the Gunslinger
Blues that dominates many areas. Patti currently has two songs,
Cheatin' Man & Happy You're Mine, in regular rotation on
Buffalo Blues Radio WBFO 88.7.FM, as well as being included
on the last two compilation CD's Buffalo Has the Blues Vol.
3&4. Patti is currently putting the finishing touches on
her newest release set for release later this year.
