A Signature Saxophonist

Patrick Lamb's calendar tells
the story.

A double threat in the truest sense — soul-drenched saxophone, powerhouse vocals — saxophonist to the legends and stages from the White House to Java Jazz, from Billboard's charts to his induction in the Oregon Music Hall of Fame. Whisper-quiet ballad or full-throttle festival close, the it factor is the constant.

The Credo

I am a musician in the service of the song. My pledge is to my fans, and the quiet moment a melody earns when it's played with care. Every performance is a signature evening, designed to be remembered long after the last note decays.

The Record

You've heard him before — you just didn't know it.

After touring with some of the biggest names in music, Patrick Lamb is finally front and center — trading side-stage for center stage as a singer and saxophonist with a sound all his own.

01 · The Artist

Two instruments, one voice, and a stage presence that carries it all — Patrick Lamb is a singing saxophonist who moves with ease from funk and soul into the refined territory of the American Songbook.

A Note About the Artist

The horn is the same Cannonball saxophone he plays to this day — but the song is the one that ends up running the room.

Patrick Lamb is a saxophonist, vocalist, bandleader, and producer — a powerhouse singer, world-class horn player, and consummate entertainer in a single performer. An evening where Patrick moves from soul-drenched saxophone into dance-floor originals that channel the energy of Bruno Mars, Earth Wind & Fire, and The Gap Band — and on into the hits of his own catalog.

He came up handpicked by Smokey Robinson, Bobby Caldwell, Gino Vannelli, and two-time Grammy winner Diane Schuur — a long tenure as section leader for Vannelli, a steady run in Caldwell's band, and a Diane Schuur tour that remains a touchstone. When he stepped into the spotlight as a solo artist, he launched his own independent label and earned three Top Five Billboard hits, with a string of internationally broadcast singles on SiriusXM Watercolors.

NEA Jazz Master Todd Barkan has called him "one of the most uplifting and deeply expressive saxophonists in the world today." Dave Koz called the record "a wonderful album… his time has come." Patrick is a three-time Muddy Award winner, an inductee of the Oregon Music Hall of Fame, and the recipient of the Spirit of Portland Award and the Yolanda King Drum Major Award.

Based in Palm Beach, Florida and working worldwide, his stages have included the lighting of the National Christmas Tree at the White House and the Kennedy Center, sold-out symphony nights with the Oregon Symphony, Java Jazz Jakarta, and marquee listening rooms from Blue Note Napa to Blues Alley. His range has carried him onto bills with Alice Cooper, KISS, Robby Krieger of The Doors, Sebastian Bach, and Danny Seraphine of Chicago. He leads a world-class band, curates signature concert programs for five-star resorts, and designs an evening the way a great chef designs a tasting menu — patient, warm, with a single thing you'll never forget.

The music — Billboard-charted, critically held, quietly refined.

Horizon Line — single cover

The latest Single

Billboard Contemporary Jazz · Released on Patrick Lamb Productions — “Horizon Line”

“Horizon Line”—a high-octane powerhouse produced by Michael Broening, the man behind twenty-seven Number One Billboard hits.

The lineup is pure elite, featuring industry legends Mel Brown on bass and Freddie Fox on guitar, all mixed to perfection by the iconic Steve Hall.

As Broening himself puts it: “This is a winner.” On January 26th, the trajectory changes. Always evolving, always reaching for a bold new horizon — Patrick Lamb delivers his most ambitious work yet. The wait is over: “Horizon Line” is here.

A few of the records. Stream on the platform you prefer — or pour something delicious, turn the lights down, and let the horn do the talking.
