Baltimorean roots-rocker Stephen Patt is noted for having reinvented himself as "The Rock and Roll Doctor" in Hollywood during the past twenty-five years; as an East Coast musician influential during the 1960s in the roots-rock movement, playing guitar with Northwind, The Chambers Brothers, and Edgar Winter's White Trash, he became one of the first New York based players to integrate rockabilly, blues, and country into his playing, branching out into a fertile career on pedal steel guitar both in the studio and on tour.

Retiring from music to enter medical school in the 1970s, Stephen continued to record in his home town of Baltimore, finally settling down to raise a family in Los Angeles, California, where he currently serves as medical advisor to the movie and television industry, and cultivates a high-end medical practice among Hollywood's elite.

He has been associated with the successful recovery of most of the more troubled Hollywood music and film stars, and continues to practice medicine in the year 2006, maintaining a writing career with Rock and Roll's Vintage Guitar Magazine, actively pursuing studio work on steel guitar and dobro with Lost in Space actor Billy Mumy and the Space Cadets, Los Angeles Based roots-rockers Twangtown, and Eagles tribute band par excellence, The Long Run.
