The members of The Patriarchs have been performing together in various projects for nearly a decade. In early 2021 Bruce and Sean decided to get together and work on new material, including a playlist of originals and cover songs they both love and enjoy playing. A few months later they reached out to Greg who completed the ensemble on drums and percussion. Because the three members met through the common connection of their children’s sports activities, they decided on the name The Patriarchs (Fathers) and began playing out in the fall of 2021.
