PATRICIA CRAIGEN

Lead Vocalist/ Hand Percussion

Patricia is truly a Hot Mess..... Crowds always love seeing her in full performance mode with her POWERHOUSE VOCALS and attitude to match!!! "The Ann Wilson of our time..." she'll take that worthy compliment!!!
"She's been singing since birth!" is what her mom Barbara tells everyone. Taking the stage at the age of 8 to play Pearl the fish, Patricia knew that music would play a big part in her life. In her early 20s she started singing more frequently in and out of little projects... but nothing serious until she met David Snyder of Thing 3 in 2014 and formed Gettin it Wet (a rock variety band) shortly thereafter, then Side Piece ( Hip Hop, Pop Variety), and now Hot Mess!

A talent like no other, David Snyder began his musical arc at the age of 4, singing his heart out to Elvis in his parent’s living room.  His love of music grew into learning a musical instrument (trumpet) and becoming a tenor.  Somewhere along the way he picked up the bass guitar and morphed into the musician you see today.  Some bands of note David participated in: Short Fuse, Wrecking Crew, Thing Three, Agents of Lewton, Lost Love Horizon, Radio Bravo, Side Piece, Rockbox and Hot Mess.  David is currently a working musician, singing and playing to crowds across the South Central Pennsylvania area.

FAMILIES RENEWED, INC.

I wanted to thank Hot Mess for performing at our event Building Bridges for Brianna on Saturday June 26, 2021. The event was an astounding success and you played a major role in that success. I also wanted to comment on the music itself as well. I was especially pleased with the performance of Hot Mess, you are entertaining, the music was great, and you engaged the audience in a way that made us feel like a part of the whole experience! Both instrumentals and vocals were perfect. You are clearly a well seasoned band with great chemistry. Thank you again for your continued support and dedication.      - Bruce Norton Chairman & CEO
