Patrick J Barth (or PJ as his friends and FPN fans call him) is a relative newcomer to the Milwaukee music scene. He has been playing guitar for nearly 10 years but only in the last 2 years has he turned professional.

His playing style is deeply rooted in traditional blues and old school R&B mixed in with his own blend of soul. His singing is reminiciant of old gospel and blues singers with his ultra soulful delivery. He has played with Milwaukee area music "giants" such as FPN's Rick Holmes, as well as Dianna Jones, Big O, Benny Reno, Mark Pannier, Terry James, to name a few.  

Although PJ is a blues player he is comfortable in various styles and genres. He is a frequent open jam attendant, always looking for ways to better his craft.  And lately, he has been turning heads on a regular basis at the Monday Night jam sessions with the house band at Buddy Guy's Legends Blues Club in Chicago. Yes - he is that hot!

And Front Page News is pleased to add PJ's great style to the group. C'mon and check 'em out!
