Biography
From the subtle and sensual, to the fiery and fantastic, Patrick Byers displays a timeless breadth and style that is often lacking amongst today's modern musical landscapes.
First cutting his teeth in San Francisco with the swing and ska revival scenes of the late nineties, Patrick Byers has not slowed since. While touring with numerous groups, he concurrently earned his Jazz Performance degree from Sonoma State University. Out of college, Patrick made the switch to performing Afrobeat, funk and world music, touring the country and beyond with many of the Bay Area's top Afrobeat bands. As the music industry changed and touring became less profitable, his focus switched to becoming one of the most in-demand baritone saxophonists in Northern California, as well as adding flute, guitars, clarinet, alto saxophone, percussion, and melodica to his arsenal. Specializing in Jazz, West African, Funk, Caribbean, Classical, Rock, Blues, and New Orleans style music, Patrick continues to play with a constantly evolving and diverse group of musicians and bands.
