Pat Roberson was born in Linden, Texas December 26, 1956.  Pat's father Juandell gave him bass lessons at age eight.  He would stand in a chair to reach the neck of his father's stand up bass. Juandell played in a Dixie Land Band and the local follies show that Richard's father Elmer Bowden organized and directed.  Juandell and Elmer were both instrumental in leading Pat to music.  After graduating from Linden-Kildare High School, Pat formed the band Crossfire with long time friends fiddle player David Hulme and guitar player Louis Ellington.  Crossfire morphed into the band The Dixie Hot Shots.  The Hot Shots became a regional favorite playing throughout Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas and Louisiana.  In Uncertain, Texas there was a small venue known as the Caddo Lounge/Rocket Club.  While playing there in 1980 with the Dixie Hot Shots, female vocalist Vonda Wiggins told her brother Mike about the band.  Mike came to listen in hopes of hiring a back up band.  After the show that night he proposed to hire the entire band to move to south Texas to become Mike Wiggins and Loco.  Not everyone was able to leave, but Pat, Dan Latham and Vonda made the decision to acccept Mike's offer.  Pat and his new wife Kim packed up their belongings and moved to Harlingen, Texas.  Pat would remain with Loco for two years, opening for many national acts and occasionally touring clubs across Texas including Gilley's.  After Loco disbanded, Pat and Kim moved back to east Texas.  Pat would help organize a popular local band, The Living Daylights.  The Daylights became a regional favorite and would open for well known acts including Sawyer Brown.  After the Daylights disbanded in the nineties he would play with several bands as a sit-in bass player and also as a studio player concentrating on writing songs.  Pat has been lucky enough through the years to share the stage with many icons of country music including Freddy Fender, George Jones, Pat Green, T. Graham Brown, Merle Haggard and many others.  Now living in Linden with his wife Kim and their daughter Maygan, he is active as a director for the Music City Texas Theater and privileged to be the bass player for the great Richard Bowden with Moon & the Starz.
