Origins
Since 1987, Pat Simmons has been working as an entertainer and musician.
A Passionate Leader
Born and raised in Spokane, WA, Pat always had a love of music, language, and communication. With music teachers for parents, Pat was brought up with an appreciation for performance and instruction. Music is in his DNA. Now, with over 30 years spent as a vital part of Spokane’s music industry and nearly 20 in the auctioneering community, Pat finds joy in nurturing and building relationships forged by entertainment. At night you can find him working on his music, getting ready for a gig, or on stage charming audiences at local performances and benefits.
“These are the sort of things that push you on in music - the curiosity, a passion for new ideas.”
— Elvis Costello
Pat has a memorable ability to enliven audiences, providing an engaging environment for a range of events, from intimate gatherings to large scale fundraisers. Pat’s passion above all is people, and he cares about connecting Spokane’s vibrant community. Pat’s clients and friends never fail to remember and praise his infectiously positive presence: a laugh, a smile, a song. Professionally and personally, Pat’s mission is to make an impact and leave joyful impressions. Good humor and earnest conversation fill his events.
