Patti Parks has found a way to match her love for blues with her life’s most meaningful work – one of the best examples of the well-worn cliché that music is a healing force. She is the embodiment of it." —Making a Scene, album review by Jim Hynes

In addition to being a touring musician, Patti is also a nurse and the creator of the “Nurs’n Blues” education program, which she developed to help high-risk children , and adults with chemical dependency at rehab centers.
