From growing up with music in the home to performing in pirate folk rock bands like the Trashcan Bandits, Patti’s path is anything but typical. She shares how personal chaos shaped her songwriting and performs several originals, including “Mandolin Reel,” “Tearing Down the Walls,” “Me and You,” and “Quarantine 2020.” With guest host Amy, Patti discusses Tulsa’s music scene, artistic authenticity, and what it takes to stay true to yourself while pursuing a life in music.
