Patitude - Bio

Sarah Pinzon - Vocals

Raised in the Pacific Northwest, Sarah made the move to Hollywood in 2017 to pursue her dreams of singing for the big leagues. Her major credits include singing on Harley Quinn: Birds of Prey (2020) and Sing 2 (coming out December 2021), and several video games with Blizzard Entertainment.

Even with Hollywood successes notched in her lipstick case (see what we did there?), she adores coming home to the Northwest for Patitude shows. She comes back to see her family, "brothers" in rock, fans, and friends, and brings with her the joy of a successful career. Every Patitude show is a family reunion and you're welcome to the party.

Sarah has sung with Patitude since 2012, sung with Hell's Belles - the Northwest's beloved all female tribute to AC/DC, toured with Black Sabbitch - the all female Black Sabbath tribute based in Los Angeles, and countless other Seattle-area tributes and cover bands since the early 2000s.

Recognized by her colorful tattoos and remembered for her joyful presence, Sarah's vocal range and talent are truly stunning and not to be missed.

Mark Hopkins - Bass

Mark is a long-time Northwest musician. He was the owner and chief engineer at Big Rock Recording studio. He has played in many original and cover bands including Smoke & Mirrors, Battery Kate, Shades of Red, Busted Radio, and Arena Kings. Originally a guitarist, Mark moved over to bass in 2012 and hasn’t looked back. He says, “It’s like I’ve found the thing I was supposed to be doing all along!” Shifting his focus from the studio to more live performing, he’s excited to be part of Patitude and looks forward to meeting many of you at our shows.

Dave Farrell - Guitar

Dave is no stranger to the Northwest Tribute Band scene. While he can also be found performing with Shambala (Three dog Night Tribute) and Third Stage (a Tribute to Boston), he really comes into his own while playing with Patitiude. "I love the feeling I get when I play with Patitude," he says, "it's a very stripped down and in your face rock and roll band, yet the subtleties and the complexities of the music are very demanding." While accurate reproduction of the music is very important to Dave, he never forgets that he is also on stage to put on a show. When you see Patitude play, you will know what I mean!

Rico Ybarra - Drums

Rico's groove is the glue that holds Patitude together. An accomplished musician, he started drumming at an early age and attended the Musicians Institute in Hollywood, CA. In the early 90s, he kicked ass in the Austin music scene with the band Pushmonkey. Not only did they play at SXSW many times, but also had the privilege of opening for Biohazard and the legendary Dio. Rico later relocated to Seattle and had the pleasure of playing with the band TerraNova and solo artist Angela Hammontree.
