Live Performance
2010 Recipient – Jazz Artist of the Year – 20th Annual LA Music Awards
Storeytime is a 5 piece vocal jazz group that features Patrick Storey, a gifted young man who was diagnosed with autism when he was two.
Patrick is a treasure – he is a musician born with perfect pitch and the ability to recall musical phrases with mathematical precision – natural gifts that fewer than 1 in 10,000 people can boast. Patrick’s musical abilities became clear when his father enrolled him in music lessons in his teen years. Despite being limited verbally, he is able to read music, sing in multiple languages and boasts an impressive repertoire of complicated jazz, classical, pop & music theater styles.
Storeytime was created to educate and inspire families and friends of autistic individuals. The organization’s goal is to help people focus on the talents and gifts autistic people have rather than solely concentrating on their deficits. Storeytime performs as a vocal group centered around Patrick Storey, an autistic singer with an incredible musical gift. The group shares their story, music and message at autism events, schools and other public programs with no expectation of payment. Storeytime Inc. is currently in need of funding in order to help pay for travel expenses, musical equipment, musicians, website maintenance, recordings, and administrative needs.
With brilliantly diverse set lists that range from Michael Jackson medleys to Brazilian jazz, standards and original tunes, StoreyTime is a unique group that blends superb musicianship with an inspirational message about the power of music and autism awareness.

Bio
StoreyTime is a 5 piece vocal jazz group that features Patrick Storey, an extremely gifted young man who was diagnosed with autism when he was two.
Patrick is a treasure – he is a musician born with perfect pitch and the ability to recall musical phrases with mathematical precision – natural gifts that fewer than 1 in 10,000 people can boast. Patrick’s musical abilities became clear when his father enrolled him in music lessons in his teen years. Despite being limited verbally, he is able to read music, sing in multiple languages and boasts an impressive repertoire of complicated jazz, classical, pop & music theater styles.
StoreyTime (a 501c) was created by Patrick’s father, Jim Storey, and professional musician Beth Rohde to give Patrick a performance platform & create awareness within the community about the impact of music to those within the autism spectrum. Beth, along with her husband Matt Rohde (who is the Associate Musical Director for American Idol) is the founder of Coast Music Conservatory in Hermosa Beach, CA.
StoreyTime made it’s debut at the 2nd Annual Evening for Autism benefit in Newport Beach, CA, performing in front of a crowd of 600. They have since performed in numerous venues and events in greater Los Angeles, and was recently nominated for “Best Jazz Vocal Group” at the LA Music Awards. They provided background vocals on Beth Rohde’s forthcoming solo album and recently recorded with 3-time Grammy Award winner Anton Pukshanksy.
With brilliantly diverse set lists that range from Michael Jackson medleys to Brazilian jazz, standards and original tunes, StoreyTime is a unique group that blends superb musicianship with an inspirational message about the power of music and autism awareness.
