Pat Autrey

I was born at a very young age, I didn't know much about life and had to bum around for several years before I could manage a few things on my own. When I was 5 my brother went to Vietnam and left his Elvis Presley records at home for me to enjoy. And that I did! I got my first guitar when I was 13. It was a pawn shop special bought on Rosedale Ave in Fort Worth, TX. I was soon playing with friends in my first band Felony. That led to meeting up with Tim Moore and joining his garage band Split Second. This band changed personnel a few times and was also known as Avathar's Axe and Naked Driver. After I was married, I joined up with Joe Stencel, Paul Humphreys, and Lee Petersen in an acoustic group called Raconteur. I then had the good fortune of being asked to join The Wheaton Singer's - a gospel group from Lake Como, Texas. I simultaneously played in the blues band True Blue. And now here we are with BluPrint. I met James Byerly at a church after a gospel show and was asked if I wanted to sit in with his group BluPrint. It's been four years and I have loved it ever since. I've been playing guitar for about 30 years now. I also enjoy producing bands in my recording studio. I'm married with five kids, and I'm a Realtor for Century 21. BluPrint is a blast. We have a great time performing and we truly enjoy doing every show.
