The Road Less Traveled - Jade Marie Patek

Jade Marie Patek comes from a rich musical lineage as the granddaughter of polka legend, Joe Patek, who delighted crowds and dance halls for decades with his Orchestra. Jade began singing at a young age, which evolved to picking up instruments, writing original music and playing professionally by the time she graduated from college at Texas State University. Over the last ten years, Jade has been writing songs that are fueled by life experiences and a whole lot of heart and soul. Her music is purely Texan and definitely original. She calls her genre of music “marble rye bread” showing infusions of Americana/Texas Country with flares of blues, fun, and soul. Jade's, hometown will always be Shiner, Texas, where her family originally settled and the Patek name is commonly known. This will be her first time to sit down and get the opportunity to share her story.
