She has been eagerly sought to share her wonderful sense of harmony for groups such as Jill Jones and the Lone Star Chorale, duet Liz Masterson and Sean Blackburn, and solo performers like Dave Stamey, Gary McMahan and Juni Fisher.
The Sunset Network Information Services Western Music Number 1 rating for her newest release "Astraddle A Saddle" proves that Patty’s recordings perform as well as she does.
