Saxon Pub

Listeners of Patrice Pike’s music, often describe it not as a genre, but as an experience. 
For many, music is meant to inspire, to evoke emotion, to create a shared experience of the human condition. Pike’s music and well-crafted lyrics create their own melodic solution to how we can navigate a world full of heartbreak with hope. Even in her songs that don’t shy away from hard topics such as poverty, gun control, and different forms of tragedy, Pike’s music is always about hope and finding the strength to continue. Patrice has toured with Blues Traveler, Sarah MacLachlan, Allman Brothers, Dave Matthews, John Fogerty, Sinead O’Connor and many others. 
Patrice was the front woman of the seminal Austin jam band, Little Sister aka Sister Seven. They released a number of well-received studio albums, including This the Trip, which gained Billboard Chart recognition for its track “Know What You Mean.” In 2020 Pike released Heart Is A Compass with long time collaborator Wayne Sutton as Pike and Sutton. Patrice is currently working with Hunter Hendrickson and John Bush, who collaborated in Edie Brickell and the New Bohemians, among other projects. They are developing new music for 2025.
