Davey Pattison (born in Scotland, Nov, 18 1945) is a San Francisco Bay Area based rock vocalist. Pattison recorded his first music in 1969, and his career took off after arrival in the United States in 1979, on invitation from Bill Graham, to front the band Gamma, formed by Bay Area guitarist Ronnie Montrose.^[1]

"I'd given up all hope of finding a quality singer for Gamma until I heard Davey Pattison," according to Montrose. In 1986, Pattison began singing for the first time with guitarist Robin Trower.

After several albums with Trower, Pattison rejoined Montrose in 1992. Since then, Pattison has performed as a solo artist and has also reunited with Trower for the Robin Trower Band's 2005 album, Another Days Blues. Pattison toured during the summer of 2008 and fall of 2010 in Europe with the Robin Trower Band, and will tour the United States with Trower in 2011.

Personal life

Pattison currently lives in California, in a small town near San Francisco.
