Fil Pate

Guitarist. Mandolinist. Music Theory Enthusiast.


Fil is dedicated to performing Music that is thought provoking and innovative while directly linked to all the influences that have surrounded us all. 

Emanating from his many projects is the awareness that Music can have a powerful influence on the community through each individual listener.

 The study of Music theory and the art behind crafting Musical performances continues to drive new musical explorations and leads to new territories every day! 

Fil is finely tuned-in to spreading the magic of musical complexities along with the simplicity inherent in the sound. With influences from many genres and styles of music, Fil focuses on preserving the traditional Americana art forms of Jazz and Bluegrass plus several world music genres. As a result, a unique form of soundscape is created in his original Music!
