Nominated for a prestigious Grammy award in 2007, Patrick Lamb is no stranger to recognition for his achievements, both for his professional work and for his contributions to charitable organizations and causes. Last year, Patrick Lamb was given the Independent Spirit Award by the City of Portland, awarded to Portland individuals and organizations that have made outstanding contributions to the community. In January of this year, he also received the fifth annual Caring Heart Award, given by Comcast and Innovative Services to individuals, organizations or local businesses that are making a difference in the lives of children, adults and families dealing with special needs. Patrick's roots are steeped in Southern blues and jazz, beginning with his childhood in Jackson, Mississippi. He began paying his dues in the clubs in Mississippi, studying under former Fats Waller band member Andy Hardwick, performing with groups that opened up for BB King, and playing dates with G.C. Cameron, formerly with the Temptations. When Patrick then moved to the Pacific Northwest, he rapidly made a name for himself as an artist with soul, versatility and creativity. In Portland he studied under Dave Barduhn, former arranger for the Stan Kenton Band, and began touring in the early 1990s with multiple Grammy award-winning vocalist Diane Schuur. Awarded three Muddy Awards in different years by voting members of the Northwest music community and the Cascade Blues Association, Patrick has been solidly and consistently recognized by his peers and community as a world class talent. Patrick Lamb currently tours with such internationally known legends as Bobby Caldwell, two time Grammy winning Diane Schuur, and Gino Vannelli. By request Patrick has performed twice at the White House in Washington, D.C. He also recently created an award-winning show, "A Tribute to Ray Charles" which was chosen by the Oregon Symphony Pops Orchestra to open their season in October of 2007, and is now a traveling production touring the United States. The tour began with a premiere performance in New Orleans. Patrick also won two Muddy Awards for "A Tribute to Ray Charles," both for the concert production by his own production company and for his own extraordinary performance on the saxophone. The subsequently-released CD has also been nominated for a Muddy Award. For corporate and exclusive party events, Patrick takes you on a journey with his polished dance band, with repertoire especially tailored for a variety of musical palates, featuring some of the best musicians in the world. Patrick's band is "American Soul" featuring Patrick Lamb: a journey through Motown, 70's funk and high-energy dance music.
