PATRICK & THE SMIRKS
Patrick and The Smirks are a Bristol-based four-piece formed by singer-songwriter Patrick Drake. Their sound blends indie, folk, and rock aesthetics, drawing influence from late ’80s alternative icons like The Pixies to modern indie-folk artists such as Big Thief and Laura Marling.
The band originally consisted of Patrick Drake (lead vocals and acoustic guitar), Jim Woodley (electric guitar and backing vocals), Robert Branch (bass guitar), and Marshall Webb (drums). Together, they craft an ambient, distinctive, yet radio-friendly sound that resonates with audiences of all ages.
At The Crafty Egg, Patrick & The Smirks will be performing as a stripped-back two-piece, showcasing a more intimate take on their dynamic sound.
