Patricia was the morning and afternoon news/traffic/weather girl for Ottawa’s DAWG-FM before moving to the weeknight syndicated Howlin’ Blues program and mid-day time slot, which she hosted for 5 years. During three consecutive rating periods, Patricia tripled the listening audience and expanded the age demographic in her time slots placing DAWG-FM within the three percentile – first ever for the station since its inception in 2010. From 2012 to 2016 her sexy blues prowess was heard late nights and Sundays on FreeFm 98.1 in Southern Ontario. In 2015 she became the backdrop of the afternoon drive home in the GTA on 105.5HitsFM.
She’s hosted live audience blues shows and music festivals. She’s interviewed award-winning artists, such as Colin Linden, Colin James, Tom Wilson, Johnny Winter, Steve Hill, Paul Reddick, Donnie Walsh, Chuck Jackson, Harry Manx, MonkeyJunk, Paul Deslauriers, Angel Forrest, ZZWard, Derek Trucks, Sass Jordan, Bernie Finkelstein, Ken Rockburn, Shakura S’Aida, Shawn Hall (Harpoonist and the Axe Murder)…. and the list goes on! She has been an adjudicator for the national Juno Awards and Maple Blues Awards. And in 2016, she was the first woman to MC the radio conference portion of Canadian Music Week.
