2011 Inductee - Pat McJimsey - Wichita, KS - 2min

Wichita's Pat McJimsey began heading up bands at the age of 17 with Velvet Honey. Later he formed the Bear Valley Blues, the Entire British Navy and Four Brothers. Pat toured with John Manning, Finnegan & Wood, Leon Russell and Freddy King. Upon his death the PAT (Performers Assistance Trust) was established by the Wichita Blues Society to offer financial help to musicians who can' t play due to major illness, accident or medical emergency or to their survivors to help with final expenses.


Shortly before his death and due to many requests from his fans, Pat McJimsey digitally re-mastered the "I Dig Girls" Album originally released in the 80's.

He was very excited about this re-release and had plans to come out with a new, "all blues album", later in the year. Thanks to the magic of the internet,
and the devotion of his family and friends, Pat's extrordinary talent lives on to be experienced here by old and new fans alike.
