Unraveling by Patrice Pike

Over the years Patrice Pike has been performing on stage with many artists including Dave Matthews, Sarah McLachlan, Natalie Merchant, Blues Traveler, the Allman Brothers and the Indigo Girls as well as opening sets for the late great Ray Charles, Cake, Soul Asylum, Cheap Trick, The Neville Brothers and more.

Now in 2006 Patrice is finishing her record Unraveling co-produced with Billy Cassis. This record is a culmination of several years of writing and recording a mix of her best work to date. Patrice is more and more becoming best known not just for her phenomenal vocal style and strength, but also for her exceptional songwriting which is diverse in style and sonic approach. Her new CD Unraveling is a mix of Roots Rock, Soul, Ambient Pop Rock and New Generation American Folk. Her records both with Sister Seven as well as solo have always been fearless about mixing styles of music, by focusing on the message and the musicianship as a cornerstone of consistency.

Patrice’s recent success points to her song writing skill, as she along with co-writers Wayne Sutton, Darrell Phillips, and Sean Phillips have been awarded Grand Prize Overall and First Prize Rock for their song My Three Wishes in the 2004 USA Songwriting Competition. Also recently Patrice’s song Unraveling garnered an honorable mention in the 2005 Mountain Stage NewSong Contest, presented by Performing Songwriter Magazine.

Patrice was cast in the primetime CBS television show Rockstar Supernova which aired over this summer of 2006. Patrice was chosen out of 25,000 musicians from all over the world for this season. The lead track Beautiful Thing from her new CD Unravelng was debuted on the show with rave reviews.

Patrice’s thoughts now about the dream: I've discovered over the years in all the people I’ve met that community is a state of mind. It’s a way of living in the world. I still want to build that community into a tangible space, as some other great people are doing around the world, as an alternative to the dominant paradigm. Doing these things through art and communication is a blessing that I am grateful for everyday.
