"Singer Patti Shaffner is truly a distinctive voice in Chicagoland’s music scene. Her delivery mates a sophisticated understanding of the great American songbook’s lyrical material with a gutsy, soulful tone firmly anchored in the blues. The results are a sultry, sexy sound.
On stage Ms Shaffner displays a firm command of her ensemble with her relaxed, yet take-charge presence. An excellent musician, she is confident of her own abilities, participating with the other musicians on an equal footing and placing her own individual stamp on each piece.
In addition to being a fine singer Ms Shaffner is a talented composer. Her compositions exhibit a blend of witty lyrics and funky soulfulness that makes them both entertaining and stimulating to listen to."
