About Pat Wictor

Pat Wictor first burst on the folk and acoustic scene as an innovative slide guitarist known for fresh and memorable interpretations of traditional and contemporary songs. Since then he has made his mark as a singer-songwriter penning lean and poetic songs that honor and extend rural blues and gospel traditions. For seven years he toured as one third of Brother Sun, the powerful harmonizing trio with Joe Jencks and Greg Greenway, garnering critical acclaim, two #1 CDs on the Folk DJ charts, and a continent-spanning tour schedule.

Wictor’s newest recording, a concept album about political division in America titled FLARE, was called “brilliant” by WFUV’s John Platt, and reached #1 on the Folk-DJ charts in 2022. His other CDs have also received wide play on folk radio. This Is Absolutely Real and Sunset Waltz both charted at #2, and Heaven is so High and Waiting for the Water both reached #4. Pat's CD This is Absolutely Real: Visions and Versions of Phil Ochs, reached #2 on the Folk-DJ charts and was nominated for Best Tribute Album by the Independent Music Awards.

Some reviews of Pat Wictor: “His performances are delicate, nearly evanescent—a daring and unusual approach for a blues singer who give listeners fresh perspectives on such familiar material as Son House’s “Death Letter” and Skip James’ “Hard Time Killing Floor.” Blues Revue

"...the clarity of his voice is an interesting juxtaposition to the glorious grit of his musicianship Dirty Linen

"He manages to infuse an almost playful, yet tasteful, improvisation while maintaining a beautiful sense of melody...............While he can fingerpick like the best of them, he is an absolute madman on the lapsteel." TheCountryBlues.com
