Patty Reese
Patty Reese has been a fan and critic favorite of the Mid-Atlantic Region for many years. Her work has been recognized by the Washington Area Music Association who awarded her 16 WAMMIES including Artist of the Year, Songwriter and Album of the year and Roots Rock Vocalist. Her latest release, Strong Medicine, held the #1 position in the ADP Charts for over 3 weeks and has been played on over 700 stations worldwide. Patty and her band are currently recording her fourth release. “It’s no secret that Patty Reese possesses a stunning voice that knows no limits….Of course, there is no shortcut to the sound of honesty - Patty Reese sings it like she’s lived it because she has. While anyone who has seen her perform live can attest to the searing power & tender mercies of a Patty Reese performance, Strong Medicine showcases a complete & original artist doing her best work yet.” —Ronnie Newmeyer, BandHouse Gigs, Concert Promoter/Musician
“The feeling that Patty puts in her music, her soulful, bluesy voice and her personality make her a staple at the Chesapeake Bay Blues Festival. I get hundreds of demo CDs a year. Patty’s new CD is my favorite.” —Don Hooker, Producer Chesapeake Bay Blues Festival
