Pat McGee with Patrick McAloon

Pat McGee has a passion for bringing wildly talented people together. Since the formation of the Pat McGee Band in 1995, McGee has sought out uniquely skilled musicians to compliment his songwriting. After relocating to Rhode Island from Virginia in the early 2000’s Pat McGee added Patrick McAloon (backing vocals, guitar and mandolin) to his lineup. The two Pat’s have performed together all over the world and have a natural synergy that shines bright on and off stage.

McGee’s music, is rooted in the singer-songwriter genre but branches out to the jam band world. Pat crafts tunes that have musical familiarity with a creative stamp all his own. With Classic Rock inspired writing, McGee continues to showcase his love of melodic guitar driven music layered with soaring vocal harmonies, organic grooves and thoughtful lyrics. McGee has toured with the likes of: Allman Brothers Band, The Who, James Taylor, Fleetwood Mac, Little Feat, Counting Crows, Steve Miller and more. McGee will continue to produce his celebrated music festivals, Down The Hatch (NC) and Ocean State of Mind (RI), where McGee shares his love of fellow artists and local culture.
