about
Pat Coast is a Northwest native and has been a serious student of blues guitar for most of his life. Although proficient in many genres, including rock and roots rock, R&B, funk, country and acoustic finger style guitar, Pat's first love remains blues, which he began learning at age 14 with some old T-Bone Walker and B.B. King records. His pursuit of music has taken him many places, from 3 and a half straight years of touring 5 western states and western Canada, to living in and gigging around Los Angeles and San Diego, to doing session work. In 1990, following a brief hiatus from the music business to start a family, Pat returned to his home town of Coeur d' Alene, in North Idaho, to provide a more relaxed atmosphere for his children and to pursue songwriting. Following a construction accident, Pat put together a small blues band to bring in some income, and two years later, found himself in local seven piece powerhouse horn band Cafe Blue, doing festivals and concerts as well as clubs. They put out a CD, "A Good Night For The Blues", featuring four of Pat's originals, which gained positive reviews from two national magazines and got airplay on college and public radio stations from Seattle to Kentucky. In 1999, Pat decided to strike out under his own name, releasing 3 more CDs, "Play Somethin' We Can Dance To", "Pat Coast Band LIVE", and Pat's favorite, "Don't Touch My Guitar." Besides gigging, Pat also enjoys carpentry work, oil painting, writing, and motorcycle riding,
