Pat Dowling Acoustic Guitarist from Boston, MA

Pat Dowling is a full time musician that has traveled internationally for performances. He plays the acoustic guitar, sings, and beat boxes to create a full band sound. He uses a loop pedal to layer multiple tracks to create a fun, upbeat style of music. Pat's main musical influences are Jack Johnson, Ben Harper, the Red Hot Chili Peppers, and Ed Sheeran. In addition to those artists, Pat is comfortable performing country hits, hip hop acoustic covers, and classic rock. Originally from Fairfield, Connecticut, Pat began working as a full time musician in San Diego, California. In SD, Pat performed thousands of shows. His focus has always been on perfecting his craft. Soon, he developed residencies at bars and restaurants four nights a week. This included the famous Croce's Park West, run by Ingrid Croce, the widow of the late Jim Croce. The painting in the "photos" section was painted while Pat was performing at Croce's Park West. In 2016, Pat performed 346 shows throughout the west coast. Pat's reputation grew and he began working with the top music agencies in San Diego. The owner of The Acoustic Spot, San Diego's premier music booking agency, had this to say about working with him: "Pat Dowling is someone we trust; We know he is going to show up on time, dress sharp, and be a complete gentleman at every event we book together. The best part is that we never have to 'sell' clients on his attention to detail or unique song selections - they recognize that the first time they meet him. It is no surprise that Pat Dowling has grown to be one of our most requested musicians." Pat is extremely versatile; he has gone from performing at an intimate company dinner in a Napa Valley wine cellar, to performing at the San Diego Rock and Roll Half Marathon main stage in front of thousands of people. Today, Pat lives in Boston where he performs nightly. When he is not playing, he enjoys reading, surfing, watching lacrosse, and traveling.
