Pat Simmons Jr. was born on the Northern California coast but was raised from age 6 on the north-shore of Maui, Hawai’i; a life full of organic farming, surfing, skateboarding, exploring the country, and playing music. He also grew up on tour with his father’s band The Doobie Brothers.
As well as a surfer, farmer, father & Cancer survivor, Pat is an avid musician, offering a diverse blend of American folk-rock, country, blues, and reggae, Pat’s music is flavored with a traditional Hawaiian influence. Pat's music expresses simple messages of conscious, social & environmental revolution.
When not playing music Pat is exploring the lesser travelled nooks on his home island of Maui's, where he, his friends and family are actively re-connecting to the country and reviving the island's profoundly productive traditional agriculture systems known as
Ahupua`a.
We tread such tantalising topics as:
-Evergreen State University
-Maui history
-Traditional Island eco-agricultural systems
-Terence McKenna
-Psychadelics
-Hawaiin Sovereignty
