about
John DePatie is a guitar player who has been active in Los Angeles, CA since 1993. With one foot in the rock camp and one foot in the jazz camp he began his professional career by playing in local rock bands, as well as jazz duos and trios. He formed his own jazz/fusion group in 1996 in Los Angeles, CA and by 1998 had a weekly residency at the jazz club Rocco in Bel Air. It was during this time period that he vowed to write a new song for every gig, and it was through this practice that he greatly expanded his repertoire. One of the bass players in his group at this time was David Hughes and it was during this engagement that they developed a rapport. The two have co-written several songs and played on each other's recordings over the years, most recently on DePatie's Jaeljo Overture. In 1999 he joined singer Will Faeber's group for live performances and the recording of Walking My Elephant. The DePatie/Faeber partnership continues to this day in the group Cathouse Thursday. Other releases include Nashville Baby, 'Til Death Do Us Party and Travel By Stars. In 2004 he auditioned for Nancy Sinatra's group and has performed with her since then, most notably on the 2004 American tours and 2005 European tour. He also contributed acoustic guitar to Two Shots of Happy, One Shot of Sad for her Nancy Sinatra album. In 2006 he teamed up with singer Debbie Hennessey and co-wrote 2 songs and played guitar on most of the tracks for her Good As Gone CD. In the summer
