H.E.A.R.honors Pat Wilder~ Chocolata Blonda
Pat Wilder aka Chocolata Blonda When Pat Wilder is in the
house, the only thing you know for sure is that the music
is going to be grooving. The powerful funk blues guitarist
and singer has share the stage with major artists like John
Lee Hooker, Hooker Jr., Angela Bofil , Elvin Bishop, Taj Mahal,
Alvin Youngblood, former Jazz Proffessor Stanford University,
Berry Williams, Four Non-Blondes, Dwane Wiggins, a funky session
with the Red Hot Chilly Peppers, Finis Tabsy of the Universal
Studio B.B. King Blues Band, Linda Tillery, pianoist Tony
Matis and Zydeco Blues Man Kenny Neal.
Pat Wilder "Lady Guitar" performed several of the big festivals
in the San Francisco bay area with some of the classic big
bay area blues artists like Sugar Pie Desantos, Jimmy McCracking,
Faye Carole, Johnny Nitro, Bobby Webb, Big Bones, Gwen Avery,
Patrice DeArmon of the Pride and Joy band, Lady Bianca, Ledisi,
the Bredford Brothers and many more. Chocolata Blonda in the
recording studio has her guitar tracks labeled on many of
artist CD's and commericals from United States to Europe.
"Lady Guitar" Wilder has a funky smooth guitar lead and
rhythm sound favoring Johnny Guitar Watson and her voice is
strong and raunchy like many funky blues female artist are...
She can shout the blues, croon soulfully, and slide into her
upper range with a gruff, girlish cadence reminiscent of Macy
Gray Unique. Wilder is equally effective playing rhythm guitar
and uncoiling stinging blues lines. She's got a clean, lean
sound that's an effective foil for Avery's sumptuous bluesy
voice. Pat knows the importance of protecting her hearing
and uses musicians earplugs while performing.
