About Pat McBride

Pat McBride

Solo Musician & Guitarist

Hey! I’m Pat, a solo guitarist and singer based in San Diego. I’ve been performing for over 20 years and love creating the perfect atmosphere for each couple’s special day. Whether it’s a relaxed cocktail hour or a lively reception, I tailor my set to fit the moment and bring good energy through timeless classics and feel good favorites. Music has always been my way of connecting with people, and it’s an honor to help make weddings unforgettable through the songs everyone loves.

What sets me apart is my ability to create a full, dynamic sound as a solo musician. With guitar, vocals, bass, drums, and live looping, I bring the energy of a band in an intimate, elegant way that fits perfectly for weddings. I read the crowd, tailor each set to the vibe of the moment, and make sure every couple gets a personal touch that makes their day feel uniquely theirs.

    Incredible Musician!

    We have been fans of Pat's for a long time and absolutely love his music and energy. It was an easy choice for a cocktail hour musician and he did not disappoint! Pat is incredibly talented, so high energy and a true professional. He tailored his set to our musical tastes and the guests absolutely loved him. I cannot recommend Pat enough!

    Music that made our day magical

    Patrick made our elopement on Sunset Cliffs absolutely magical. His live versions of They Love Each Other by the Grateful Dead and In the Morning Light by Billy Strings fit the moment perfectly. He’s talented, kind, and intuitive exactly the kind of musician you want for a meaningful event.

    Best one man band in San Diego!

    Pay played the cocktail hour at our wedding at the Kona Kai and was amazing. He can do so much with just a guitar and a few pedals, it’s like having a whole band there. You can tell how much Pat loves to perform, he has a gigantic smile on his face the whole time, our guests and we had an incredible time. Couldn’t recommend Pat any more!
