“One of the most soulful versions ever heard”: That’s how one media outlet described the anthem performance of Boston-based songwriter, Patrick DeCoste. In combining virtuoso-like skills with a rock and roll attitude, DeCoste has created his own unique sound. He’s got the chops to play in the orchestra pit for the Grammy-winning musical HAIRSPRAY, and the swagger to play his own original interpretation of the Star Spangled Banner in front of 50,000 people at Shea Stadium. Serious musicians will appreciate his skills; music fans will love his melodic hooks and memorable melodies.

Two independent albums, a diverse streaming music catalog, and sharing the stage throughout New England supporting such major label artists as Gary Hoey (Rock/ Blues) to Lori McKenna (Country/ Folk), has led to “Artist of the Year” and “Live Act of the Year” nominations. DeCoste also actively endorses MusicMan guitars, Ernie Ball strings, Clayton guitar picks, and DigiTech pedals.

Since 2024, DeCoste has kept busy by performing at some of the region’s best venues while recording and releasing 5 new songs, collaborating with such international artists as Kris Patt and Honey Love, and adding more music to his “The Holidays” EP.
