It’s always nice when the guys running your local music shop are backing blues great Pinetop Perkins for his shows in Maine. That’s how Pat ended up backstage at the North Atlantic Blues Festival the summer of ’95. Well he intended to make the most of it and had a good time chillin’ with Eddie Shaw Jr. (who play’s guitar with Eddie Shaw & the Wolfgang). Eventually it came out that he played drums and percussion and the topic of the after hours jam came up. As fate would have it, Pat had an old washboard-purchased at a junk store in Winslow, ME in the trunk. After Eddie pulled him past the bouncer for the after hours jam, he made my way towards the stage with the washboard. Once he got up there, none of the musicians would let him down. Pat played with lots of great and gracious bluesmen, including Koko Taylor’s band, Johnny Hoy and the Bluesfish, Eddie Shaw and others. A few months later, Pat started a show on WMHB in Waterville, ME, where he was dubbed Washboard Pat. Pat think the name suits him and either way, he has a good time with it.



When he's not spinning the blues, Pat likes listening to and playing all types of music, getting outside (especially a nice canoe or hiking trip), and of course hanging out with friends and family. It’s the same vibe he tries and create for the Transfer Station—a good sense of humor, great music, and an open door policy where cameos abound leading to a variety of expected and unexpected pleasures for all.
