Patti Anglin

Patti grew up in Sonoma County, She and her husband moved to Manton 16 years ago. Patti grew up in a family of musicians and started singing at the age of five and playing guitar at nine. “She contributes her talent of singing to her Mother who sang for the San Francisco Opera.” At thirteen, Patti and her brother started their first band. In her late teens and twenties, they opened shows for several top country entertainers in the Bay Area. She put her singing career and love of music on hold as her love of family and work was more important at that time. With children grown and grandchildren born, Patti is now playing music and singing for the joy it brings to her and her listeners.
