You don’t build a 30+ year career in music by accident.

In this episode, John sits down with Patrick Tetreault, a songwriter, producer, and multi-instrumentalist who has lived the full spectrum of a working musician’s life. From record deals to the independent grind, from local stages to international tours, Patrick has carved out a path that reflects both endurance and evolution.

Patrick is well known in the Pacific Northwest for his participation in many bands over the years, including Portland favorites, The Pearls, a vocals-driven Americana/Alt-Country/Western Swing band based out of Portland. 

Now based in Muscle Shoals, and leading his band Pride of the North Bank, his sound draws from deep roots in country, bluegrass, and Americana. At the same time, he continues to stretch creatively, releasing solo material in the power pop vein, proving that longevity in music isn’t about staying the same.

This is a conversation with someone who has stayed in it long enough to see what lasts. If you’re trying to build something real in music, there’s a weight to this one you’ll feel right away.
