A newcomer to the Toronto Jazz scene, Pat Murray has spent the past 10 years
as Kingston’s most popular and active jazz vocalist.
Pat recently moved to Toronto to teach drama at an inner city school and to
pursue her vocal career. With a pair of CD's under her belt Pat has evolved
into a consummate singer and performer capable of capturing any audience
with her intelligence, her heart, her emotion and her talent.
Born In Orillia and raised in Montreal, Pat moved to Kingston with her
family in 1967. Her mother was a prominent jazz singer in the 40's and 50's
in Montreal. Her father was a Jazz guitarist who played with Oscar Peterson.
A graduate of Drama from Queen's University, Pat was encouraged from the age
of three to sing and perform. Pat has also appeared as Kate in The Tarragon
Theater production of "Finnegan's Wake" and, while at Queen's performed in
"Outside and in the Cold", a one-woman musical docudrama.

As Toronto promoter Anya Wilson wrote, "While many lead vocalists can have
an impressive voice, few can emote as Patricia Murray does, which is the
difference between a singer and an artist."
Pat has a CD out called, "Live at Monte's"
