Brian Patricks Is a Blues, Folk & Folk/Rock Artist From Maine

Brian Patricks born in Maine and brought up in rural Northern Maine

during the height of the 60's & 70's began to sprout his musical roots at a

young age. He started with what was on hand and available at the time,

an ol' tenor banjo strung with fishing string Yikes!!

His father soon bought him an old guitar and introduced him to a wonderful

couple, Jan and Evelyn Kok. They took him under their wing and engulfed him in a

world of music, songwriting and the arts. With the Kok's, through Brian's early years

he studied and began his love of the classical guitar, roots music, folk music, blues,

song writing and performing.

Our diners love him, our staff enjoy working when he's in the house, and his style extends the welcoming ambiance we try so hard to offer consistently here at Andy's. He's one of the few artists I've ever worked with who understands the need to provide an outstanding performance, while at the same time, taking an interest in the success of our business and the comfort of our guests. We're fortunate to have him on board."
