As with many artists, Rettig has been behind the Los Angeles music scene for years. His concerts have sold-out venues for two decades. His mysterious persona knocks out standing room audiences alerted to his performances with only a moments notice -- and only by word of mouth.
Relatively unknown in the face of the huge music machine, his message is simple and wholesome American music -- melodic and true -- to those wonderful people who choose to sit back, turn off the clock, dance and enjoy the real deal. His elegant presentation has blossomed over the years and his rustic voice has entertained the likes of Elton John, Muddy Waters, Greg Allman, Cheap Trick and probably your next door neighbor.
He is a tireless hard worker and his piano sings the song of all ages. Very few Los Angeles musicians have not accompanied this man -- or watched an evening of Rettig rip across a landscape of pure emotion -- before he disappears back into the LA night skyline.
"Perhaps," as he says, "I'll be lucky enough to romance the city this very evening and kiss the face of rock n' roll." As for you the reader, perhaps you too will drift upon the strange and soulful Mr. Rettig on some moonlit smokey evening of rockn' jazz and down-home boogie blues.
Indulge yourself -- brush against pure entertainment from the heart and soul of an authentic American poet, songwriter and inexplicable talent.
By the way, bring your dancin' shoes. The room is never still.
About Pat's music:
Every song tells a story.
Music and lyrics in the filmmaking process are essential. The songs help determine the success or failure of each production. Motion pictures, television shows, shorts, documentaries, and commercials use songs to elicit emotion, establish a mood, create a period flavor, and move the plot forward.
Pat Rettig is a storyteller. His songs cover a broad range of emotions and moods. Let his songs set the scene with tales of love, pain and humor. As your characters move through their complicated lives Rettig’s music will move with them. Your characters may be lost, broken, lonely and wandering. Or they may be struggling with the issues of a long term, lifelong love affair or with issues of commitment and trust. They maybe fighting, running, dancing, loving, or laughing. They may be struggling with addiction issues. They may be scared, courageous, confused or certain. Regardless of where your characters are in their lives, Rettig has a song that will match where they are in their journey. Let his music help you move your story forward. Let it help set the stage for the lives and loves of your characters.
