ABOUT THE PATRICE PIKE BAND | Patrice Pike’s music defies easy genre labels, blending rock, R&B, soul, jazz, and global influences into what listeners experience less as a style and more as a deeply human, emotionally resonant journey rooted in hope. Her powerful voice, thoughtful lyrics, and multi-instrumental performances confront difficult subjects—poverty, gun violence, and loss—while always offering compassion, resilience, and connection. A veteran performer, Pike has toured with artists including Blues Traveler, Sarah McLachlan, the Allman Brothers, Dave Matthews, John Fogerty, and Sinéad O’Connor. Originally from Dallas, she moved to Austin in 1992 and rose to prominence as the frontwoman of the influential jam band Sister Seven, whose album This the Trip earned Billboard recognition. Since then, she has continued evolving through collaborations with longtime guitarist Wayne Sutton, their project Pike and Sutton (including the 2020 release Heart Is a Compass), and most recently with Hunter Hendrickson and John Bush, formerly of Edie Brickell and the New Bohemians, with new music slated for release in 2024.
