Pat Temple has become a mainstay in the Canadian music scene. Reminiscent of Leon Redbone, his music harks back to the swinging western music of the 30’s,40’s and 50’s combining elements of Western Swing, Jump Blues, Rockabilly and Roadhouse Soul. Together with his group The HiLo Players consisting of Rob Foreman on upright bass and Kyler Tapscott on electric guitar they make toe-tapping music with wry lyrics that are bound to put a smile on anyone’s face.
According to Pat, “my music was never considered mainstream music. I wasn’t country enough to be new country, and I wasn’t rock enough to be rock. So I was doing something really different.”
Pat Temple has thirty years of performing experience. He has performed in venues such as: Massey Hall, The National Art Gallery and The Ontario Place Forum. Pat Temple has received press across Canada, being interviewed by CBC, The Toronto Star, The Ottawa Citizen, The Winnipeg Free Press, as well as The Vancouver Sun. He has appeared live on Much Music television and CBC radio.
