A Musical Journey
Joe Patterson is a multi-instrumentalist composer and singer creating music in Panamá and Portland, Oregon. He is a master of many styles on the violin, mandolins, and piano.
His music is influenced by folk, classical, jazz and rock; all blended to craft his special style of music.
Joe’s musical style might defy categorization but is American with hints from life on the beach covered with soaring melodies that let your imagination fly.
As with any musician, teaching and performing are an important part of your career. Joe enjoys having a small studio of students of all abilities which not only passes along the musical tradition but also gives a lot in return.
You can watch Joe performing live every Sunday at 6:00pm Panamá time on YouTube and Facebook. Joe also performs locally in Panamá as a solo act or with his band FiddleJoe and the Fisherman.
In Portland, Joe returns to his classical training and joins the Oregon Mandolin Orchestra as part of the mandocello section.
