Pablo Paddy

Pablo Paddy is an indie rock project formed by singer-songwriter Patrick Beedling. After cutting his teeth as a solo artist in St. Catharines’ downtown music scene, Beedling recruited local players to bring his songs to life. The music—eclectic, and moody— draws from a range of influences, including folk, alternative, art-rock, and indie. With a rotating cast of members the group, called Barbarosa until 2019, has remained active in the Ontario club scene, playing regularly in Toronto, Hamilton, and Niagara.

In 2013, Barbarosa released the Sinking West EP, and in 2014, they toured eastern Canada promoting the EP and a new single, 'Mercy Me, Prosperity.' Now based in Toronto, the band—currently comprised of Patrick Beedling, Calum Beedling, Joseph Stracuzzi and Jonny Smith—continues to release new material and perform regularly. In December 2016, they released their second EP, "Eye of the Rabbit."
