Patti Spadaro, known for her introspective, heartfelt songwriting and creative lead guitar work, brings a hopeful perspective to her music, aiming to inspire and unite. Her organic grooves, memorable original compositions, and spontaneous jam sessions are the trademarks of the Patti Spadaro Band, a group that firmly believes in the uplifting and transformative power of music. Her latest single, “Glass Shatters,” set to release on June 8, 2024, is a celebration of women and the historical milestone of the first female Vice President. Written by Spadaro, the track was recorded at Blue Door Recorders in Pittsburgh, showcasing local talent including Anne Celedonia (keys/vocals), background vocalists Cherylann Hawk, Jill Simmons & Alison McTavish, drummer and recording engineer Eric Kurtzrock, and bassist Ryan Black.

The album “Bringing Me Back” features Spadaro’s passionate guitar work and vocals, harmonizing with singer Jill Simmons (Brown Eyed Women).
