We all work hard all week but when the show starts you will remember how good you can feel. The band is Soulful.

Watch the crowd at a Patti Parks Show. They start out in their seat but it doesn’t last long. The band is Danceable.

From original musical arrangements to blues to Motown and more. The band is not the same old thing. The band is Fresh.

The Band

A night out with the Patti Parks Band is an experience. A show to remember. Patti Parks’ gift of a voice is the highlight but there is so much more. The unforgettable horn solos of Nick Salamone on the tenor sax, Paul Vanacore on the baritone sax and Gerry Youngman on the trumpet make a spine tingling sound. It is all held together with the funky base lines of Nick Veltri, solid drum licks of Pete Holquin and soaring guitar work of John Riggi – the expert rhythm section. Add to this the soulful keyboards of Guy Nirelli for the full music experience.

The Patti Parks Band is one of the WNY region’s most versatile and experienced groups, comprised of musicians who know how to keep a crowd jumping all night long.

The first thing you’ll notice about the Patti Parks Band is how much they seem to enjoy playing with each other. Their mutual respect and camaraderie is obvious. “These guys feed off of each other musically, it’s quite something when they get rolling” says Patti of her seven piece ensemble, “They are always watching and cheering each other on, it’s really great”.
