Patty Blee, an Americana Roots artist was born in Brigantine, in southern New Jersey. Publicists with Treasure Records, who produced "Disguise," say, "If you can imagine Sheryl Crow meeting Bonnie Raitt in a corner bar as they kick back a few cold ones with Lucinda Williams, then you'll have no problem envisioning Patty Blee pulling up a stool and fitting right in."

Blee began playing music at about 10, but never really wrote, kept a journal or diary, until she was in her 30's. According to Blee, she may not have began writing until this point because she was so intimated by the songwriters who inspired her growing up, which included James Taylor, Bonnie Raitt, Jackson Browne, and Bob Dylan.

A pivotal stepping stone in Patty's run of success was her performance at the 2002 Appel Farm Music and Arts Festival (Elmer, NJ) alongside the likes of Jackson Browne and Jonatha Brooke. Patty has appeared on the renowned "Folk Show" on WXPN/Philadelphia with Gene Shay and was selected to perform at the NEMO Music Showcase and Conference in Boston and N2MC in Nashville. NEMO also included Patty's "Right Between You and Me," from disguise, for inclusion on its compilation CD. GuitarGirls.com, which named Patty Blee its Artist of the Month in April, has now selected another disguise track, "I Believe In This Love," for inclusion on its Compilation CD, which benefits AIDS organizations worldwide through the Mercury Phoenix Trust, set up by the surviving members of Queen in memory of Freddie Mercury.

Patty has opened for acts including The Outlaws, Jackson Brown, Martina McBride, Lonestar, The Marshall Tucker Band, The Burns Sisters, Delbert McClinton, Entrain, Guy Davis, Johnatha Brooke, Richard Julian and Kelly Joe Phelps.
