| FIDDLES AND FRETS INTERVIEW WITH RAY NAYLOR http://raynaylor.podhoster.com With female singer-songwriters once again thriving in the music industry, PATTY BLEE is already well on her way to joining the likes of Shawn Colvin, Dar Williams and Patty Griffin as a Triple AAA radio staple. And there's no better way to introduce this rising new talent than with the release of Patty's well-regarded Treasure Records debut, DISGUISE. Nationally distributed through CDBABY, the album is 13 tracks of pure heart and soul, memorably solidified by a strong and unmistakable voice that's surrounded by some of the finest roots-rock musicians around. DISGUISE is a pleasant surprise -- a refreshing look at a genre that increasingly knows no bounds. If you can imagine Sheryl Crow meeting Bonnie Raitt in a corner bar as they kick back a few cold ones with Lucinda Williams, then you'll have no problem envisioning PATTY BLEE pulling up a stool and fitting right in. "In short, I was knocked out.," said Peter North, Music Director of CKUA (Edmonton, Canada) A pivotal stepping stone in Patty's run of success was her performance at the 2002 Appel Farm Music and Arts Festival (Elmer, NJ) alongside the likes of Jackson Browne and Jonatha Brooke. Patty has appeared on the renowned "Folk Show" on WXPN/Philadelphia with Gene Shay and was selected to perform at the NEMO Music Showcase and Conference in Boston and N2MC in Nashville. NEMO also included Patty's "Right Between You and Me," from DISGUISE, for inclusion on its compilation CD. GuitarGirls.com, which named PATTY BLEE its Artist of the Month in April, has now selected another DISGUISE track, "I Believe In This Love," for inclusion on its Compilation CD, which benefits AIDS organizations worldwide through the Mercury Phoenix Trust, set up by the surviving members of Queen in memory of Freddie Mercury. DISGUISE is the culmination of Patty's hard work and determination over the years, containing fresh material written specifically for the album. Recorded and co-produced by Randy Friel (BeauSoleil) and Richard Crooks at Scullville Studios and mixed by legendary recording engineer Shelly Yakus (John Lennon, Tom Petty), this record is sure to have a permanent spot in any aficionado's collection. The stellar group of talent behind Patty includes Bob Dylan band regulars Larry Campbell on guitar and Tony Garnier on bass, with Richard Crooks (Bob Dylan, Dr. John) on drums. John Hammond Jr. makes a guest appearance on harmonica as does Augie Meyers (Bob Dylan, Tom Waits, Doug Sahm) on accordion. Violinist/vocalist Soozie Tyrell (Bruce Springsteen, Shawn Colvin, Sheryl Crow) also lends a hand! Patty has developed a distinctive guitar style full of bass lines and grooves, and has intertwined memorable melodies into mid and uptempo songs of love and longing on DISGUISE. A wide range of influences are evident -- blues, folk, country, and rock. This album is just the beginning of a long road for a woman with so much to give. The Atlantic City Press said the album displayed, "wonderfully written and crafted songs." and was chosen 17 in their list of top 50 CD releases for the year. With that in mind, give DISGUISE a listen and understand why everyone is raving about Treasure Records' newest treasure, PATTY BLEE VENUES PLAYED: APPEARD WITH SOOZIE TYRELL ON CONAN OBRIEN, MOUNTAIN STAGE, HOTEL CAFE (CA), MOLLY MALONE'S, CINEMA BAR, LESTAT'S, COFFEE GALLERY BACKSTAGE, WESTERN BEAT MUSIC SERIES, STONE PONY (asbury park), BOTTOM LINE (nyc), KENNY'S CASTAWAY'S, GOOGIES ABOVE THE LIVING ROOM, THE CUTTING ROOM, ROCKWOOD'S MUSIC HALL, PARKSIDE LOUNGE, BITTER END, RED LION , BLAGGARDS, TURNING POINT, BERGEN PAC, APPLE FARM ARTS AND MUSIC FEST, HOMETOWN MUSIC SERIES, THE POINT (bryn mawr), TIN ANGEL (philly), BURLAP & BEAN, BAR NOIR, BIRCHMERE (VA), THE MOUNTAIN WINERY (CA), NEMO MUSIC CONFERENCE (boston), THE TOAD, 2NMC MUSIC CONFERENCE (nashville), FLYING SAUCER, GENE SHAY SHOW WXPN, WRITERS IN THE RAW, HARRY'S ROADHOUSE (asbury), HOUSE OF BLUES (AC), HILTON CASINO, RESORTS, TRUMP MARINA, BALLY'S WILD WEST, HARRAH'S, SHOWBOAT, THE FOUNDATION ROOM @ THE HOUSE OF BLUES AC, HARD ROCK CAFE (AC), CAREME'S CAFE SERIES, DEAD DOG SALOON, LIBRARY III AND IV, BUBBA MAC SHACK OPENED FOR: JACKSON BROWNE, MARTINA MCBRIDE, LONESTAR, BLAKE SHELTON, DICKEY BETTS, THE OUTLAWS, MARSHALL TUCKER, DELBERT MCCLINTON, ENTRAIN, SOOZIE TYRELL, KASIM SULTON, JOHN CORBETT, GUY DAVIS, JONATHA BROOKE, RICHARD JULIAN, KELLY JOE PHELPS, THE BURNS SISTERS, DAVID FRANCEY, GREG GREENWAY, TRAVIS HOWARD, CRAIG BICKHARDT

Favorite inspitational passage........... "There is a vitality, a life force, a quickening that is translated through you into action, and because there is only one of you in all time, the expression is unique. And if you block it, it will never exist through any other medium and be lost. The world will not have it. It is not your business to determine how good it is, nor how valuable it is, nor how it compares with other expressions. It is your business to keep it yours clearly and directly, to keep the channel open. You do not even have to believe in yourself or your work. You have to keep open and aware directly to the urges that motivate you. Keep the channel open ... There is no satisfaction whatever at any time. There is only a queer, divine dissatisfaction, a blessed unrest that keeps us marching and makes us more alive than the others."
