Who Is CBO? :: CBO Band Bios

Patrick Thorsteinson: Guitar, Vocals

Patrick won the Twin Cities Best Guitarist award in 1993, and it’s no wonder why. He’s been playing and singing (he does that well too) professionally, for several years and has performed just about every style there is. For a time, Patrick bought and sold vintage guitars, and also did some teaching. You might say, “Guitar was his life.” Then, one day, Patrick discovered golf. His band mates got pretty nervous thinking that he’d never have time for music anymore, but so far he’s been able to balance the two quite well. He plays in several local golf tournaments and teaches a junior golf program as well as private lessons. When he’s not playing music or golf, he works on modeling his life after Tim Skogen (his hero), but always seems to come up short. Relax Pat...you can’t be good at everything.
