Los Angeles, CA-based guitarist Patrick Sauber joined the Jaybirds in 2017. The veteran performer has played with, among others, Doc Watson,  Richard Greene, John Jorgensen, Peter Rowan, Tim O’Brien, and John  Fogerty. He played on the 2016 Grammy-nominated album The Hazel and Alice Sessions by Laurie Lewis, and appeared in the film A Mighty Wind with Christopher Guest. Bluegrass Unlimited describes Patrick’s playing  on John’s tune “Daylighting the Creek” as “a glorious flatpicking solo  that hews back to the glory days of early bluegrass guitar.”
