Patti Steel

Arkansas Times wrote, “This Fayetteville-based, cat-ear-wearing alto and multi-instrumentalist plays everything from the mandolin to the nose flute to the clarinet, landing on our radar as the mean machine behind a band called The Trashcan Bandits. Here, she’s paired up with Dominic B. Roy in a mellow mission statement for pandemic times..."

Steel's debut EP, No Better, is wholly relatable. Patti speaks on missing what once was, the reality of a world in quarantine, relationships twists and turns, standing up for oneself, and remaining humble. Steel puts her soul into every note you hear; her words and stories are thought provoking and deliver an emotional strength and comfort with a positive influence. She wants to help take the world as it is and leave it a better place, and inspires audiences to do the same. 

The thoughtfulness of roots, the fiery emotions of blues, the integrity of country, and the spirit of rock and roll… Patti Steel’s musical talents and powerful stage presence have been wowing audiences for over a decade. Steel’s sultry soul blues vocal style draws from her inspirations, greats like Aretha Franklin, Patsy Cline, and Whitney Houston. Steel easily switches from clarinet, spoons, guitar, mandolin and many other random noise makers at performances keeping her sound fresh.
