About Patchwork Band

For many years, Patchwork Band has been a West Michigan favorite. Tight harmonies, great song selections, and a passion for peforming and entertaining are the hallmarks of the "Patchwork Experience".


In 2011 we said goodbye to our long-time friend and original band member Terry Carter. Terry and his wife moved (back) to Texas to return to his original home state and be nearer to family. Patchwork will certainly miss Terry! Terry's vacancy allowed us to explore and seek new membership for the band, and we're thrilled to announce that as of late 2011, Mark Walker is our new mandolin player, replacing Terry. Mark brings a wealth of musical knowledge and ability to the band and we feel he's a great addition to "The Patchwork Legacy"!
