PW Farrell

Known for his unique harmonic and technical approach to the bass guitar, Patrick Farrell is a bassist, composer, producer/programmer, and music educator.

As a sideman Patrick has performed country music in Switzerland (Jetty Road), Indian fusion music in Kolkata and just about everything in between.

Patrick began releasing music and building his online presence under the name ‘PW Farrell’ to avoid confusion with two other musicians, named Pat Farrell and Patrick Farrell respectively. With the release of his debut album The Life Electric in 2011, the online visibility of the PW Farrell brand became such that there was no turning back and he continues to perform, write and market under this name.

Critical acclaim for The Life Electric:

“...Farrell has created one of the better albums of the year…

A startling instrumental technician.” ~ John Hardaker (AustralianJazz.net)

“For Pat’s maiden voyage, he has constructed a veritable palate of tunes that are infused with the honesty of his experience, and this is an absolute pleasure to listen to from start to finish.” ~ Trent Bryson-Dean (Drum Scene)
