The White House — twice.
Peace on Earth Celebration and the lighting of the National Christmas Tree.
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.
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.
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, has produced or curated over 300 signature concert programs and international artists 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.
“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 voice that lands like Motown and a horn that lives downtown. Patrick Lamb doesn't entertain a room — he programs one."
One of the best instrumentalists I've ever worked with…
Patrick Lamb is one of the most powerfully uplifting and deeply expressive and swinging saxophonists in the world today. He raises the roof and melts our hearts.
This was the first time I saw Patrick — I was amazed. He's definitely one of the brightest new breakout artists on the scene. He had the whole place up dancing. The next Boney James.
Generous, talented and smart — Patrick Lamb is Portland's ‘renaissance man.’
Awesome set of songs here — by a saxophone artist whose time has indeed come. Congrats, Patrick, on a wonderful album.
Patrick Lamb is an engaging performer who connects with his audience, combining his saxophone artistry with his love of people.
"Patrick dots every 'i' and crosses every 't' when it comes to putting a show together. Terrific venue, great built-in audience, beautiful setting — makes it easy to recommend."
"I am so happy and honored to say that when we worked in Bend, Oregon it was really wonderful. I know that you run your production with such class! So proud of you, my dear friend!"
"A little jewel of a venue where an artist can experience the luxury of a world-class hotel and the warm reception of its world-class audience. I loved it."
"It's refreshing to see a presenter and producer who is a musician themselves — they know the importance of taking care of the artists. My band was treated like royalty."
"Patrick has really built something beautiful. Artists from all over the world come to this scenic place and perform for a city of true art and music lovers. Really special."
"So professional, the entire staff so easy to work with and knowledgeable about everything going on. I would highly recommend Patrick for any festival I'm involved in."
