Patrice O'Neill is known throughout the Pacific Northwest for her beautiful voice and personal songwriting style, as well as her work with the popular group Mel Cooleys. Her wonderfully expressive vocals are featured on her debut solo release, Elusive, which offers original songs that present an extraordinary view of an artist at the peak of her craft. Victory Music Review has praised her "...expressive, yet delicate phrasing"; Dan Roberts wrote about "...a voice so pure and sweet that it could melt rock..."; and Pandemonium reviewer Laura Horton said "Patrice's voice is that of an angel - ; it defines beauty, and demands your attention." Patrice is also an amazing artist; all of the artwork you see on the web site, the disc packaging, and the accompanying songbook, are Patrice O'Neill originals!

For fourteen years, Patrice has been Director of the award winning Wintergrass festival which takes place in Tacoma the last full weekend of February annually. Every June, she also helps to direct the Mandolin Symposium at the University of Santa Cruz with David Grisman, Mike Marshall and other exceptional instructors and players. When she is not directing events, she enjoys writing poetry, bike riding, running and furry critters.
