Pat Liston first gained widespread recognition as one of the founding members of "Mama's Pride"...a band known with great affection as "The Pride Of St. Louis". This alone indicates much in a city renowned for it's musical contribution. Pat is a versatile songwriter/musician, and spearheaded the band as a key writer and lead vocalist, as well as playing keyboard and slide guitar.

Mama's Pride had two successful albums in the 1970's: "Mama's Pride" and "Uptown & Lowdown". Produced by such notables as Arif Mardin, who last year won a Grammy for his work with Norah Jones, and Jim Mason, of "Firefall" fame. In 1992 Mama's Pride also released a third album, "Guard Your Heart", produced by Grammy winner, Jim Gaines. The music on all three albums has sustained in popularity, and is still played on many radio stations in the U.S. and Europe.

Pat toured coast to coast with Mama's Pride alongside top recording artists such as The Charlie Daniels Band, The Allman Brothers, Marshall Tucker, Bob Seger, Heart, Kansas, Alice Cooper, The Outlaws, Lynyrd Skynrd, REO Speedwagon, Ringo Starr, Todd Rundgren, Joe Walsh, Stephen Stills, and Loggins & Messina.

More recently, Mama's Pride has been breaking records with "Sold Out" concerts at The Pageant Theatre, one of St. Louis' newest and most popular concert venues.

in 2003 Pat released his first solo CD "Blue Mist" with eleven self-penned songs on it. He is presently working on his 2nd solo CD due out in the fall off 2007.
