Pat, known as "the doc", born on the south-side of Milwaukee started playing drums in 1962 as a snare drummer for a drum and bugle corps called: The Imperials of St. Patrick's. In 1967 Pat taught drums for a Drum & Baton Corps called: The St. Gerard's Jets for a few years, winning best drum line for 3 years in a row in state competitions.
It was in the late 60's when Pat first met Milwaukee's very own: Larry Lynne, who at the time had a band called: "The Free Meal" a 3 piece hard rock band.. Larry asked Pat to fill in one weekend and that started their long time friendship and playing music together.
Other groups Pat played with The Royal Commission, The Skunks, Shaky Leg, Opera, and Bootlegger.
Coming out of retirement after 25 years, Pat rejoins Larry and Jimmy.......along with Jon, grooving as hard as ever with a unique mixture of R&B Soul, Southern Country Rock, and New Orleans Shuffle!!
