Memories of Roosterville (2024)
"One can easily identify the profound influences of the Canterbury progressive rock scene on the arrangements and playing, as well as strong elements of jazz-rock fusion (think Corea. Hancock, and others) and stateside bands like Happy the Man with Kit Watkins, there’s plenty in Strawser’s style and technique to get excited about, and in spite of the influences, nothing here sounds even the slightest bit derivative, and every cut stands strong on its own. Memories of Roosterville stands as a great achievement, one that truly conveys the composer’s vision."
- Peter Thelen, Exposé Magazine (4/29/24) "This is a thoroughly enjoyable album which only gets better the more it is played." -Kev Rowland, ProgArchives and Progressor.net You can download and purchase Memories of Roosterville on Bandcamp. It is also available on YouTube. |
Vignettes (2023)
Descriptions of the album Vignettes:
"That first track really did grab me, all the great flavorings of that Canterbury style mixed with some tasty jazz fusion. But the whole damn album is aces. I’ve enjoyed all your albums, but this one hit home just right with me (even with its huge variety of styles). I mean this in the nicest way possible…I don’t know how the hell you’re gonna top it 🤣" ____________________________________________________ “And THIS is the album you should buy today!!! As the name suggests, “Vignettes” by Pat Strawser is a variety show of musical styles, ranging from fusion/jazz to synthwave to progressive rock to sci-fi soundtracks and beyond, unified by sweet vintage keys and the truly skilled musician behind them. I’ve heard all of Pat’s works, and this album has quickly become my favorite. Give it a listen; you’ll be glad you did.” You can download and purchase Vignettes on Bandcamp. It is also available on YouTube. |

"It was an absolute pleasure to chat with Pat about music and Cherry Audio instruments, and we gained some valuable insights about how he uses them to create his unique sound."
|
"...Vignettes certainly showcases his amazing talent as a gifted composer, arranger, producer, and player across the album’s fourteen instrumental tracks."
|
"Vignettes is among the finest of the decade, making it clear that Pat Strawser is right up there with the finest recording artists of the progressive music genre today."
