With over 20 years as a professional musician under his belt, Patrick Latella continues an ever-expanding exploration on the guitar through rhythmic, melodic and harmonic jam-rock, jazz-fusion, funk and improvisation to acoustic chamber, neo-classical and ambient. It was by playing in school orchestra that he developed his understanding and appreciation of ensemble based music where compounding and intertwining musical ideas combine to make a sound greater than the sum of its parts. His compositions exhibit this appreciation with multiple melodic and rhythmic themes layering to form soundscapes deep and complex, yet resonating and inviting to the listener. With over 1000 live shows in multiple ensembles, from electric fusion bands with 14 members to 6 piece power jam-rock bands, to new-grass outfits to duos to solo work, Patrick has turned heads and amazed and delighted crowds of all ages.
