Patrick Thompson
I play bass and sing for The Trist, a Sacramento, CA based all original adult contemporary band with a 70s/80s vibe. This page is for my works in progress and songs that are new or haven't been recorded by the band yet.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
I'm sure we'll create a band page, but we've been playing together off and on since high school in the late 70s/80s.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
I play with the band at coffee places, parties, fundraisers etc.
Your musical influences
Whether they influenced me or not, I love Kansas, most Southern Rock, certain progressive rock and artists like Billy Joel.
What equipment do you use?
Newest addition is a Raven West Guitar SkyRanger 590T. I also have a Carvin LB40 bass, a Carvin Acoustic guitar for some performances and a Deltatone Strat with a whammy bar for recording when necessary. I use a Yamaha DG80 1-12 amp, a Carvin Acoustic Amp and a Fender Bassman. At home I love using Mixcraft Pro software, a Presonus USB DAW and an MXL 63M Condenser mic.
Anything else?
Just trying to stay connected with the music world.
