Alisha Pattillo Electric Band is a high-voltage, saxophone-led instrumental fusion group from Northwest Arkansas.

Ear food that nourishes the soul, with an all-star lineup of musicians capable of fiery solos informed by organic funky intelligence. Established in 2024 by the band leader, saxophonist Alisha Pattillo, APEB is a jazz fusion ensemble that seamlessly dovetails to the main stream desires.
Alisha Pattillo is a freelance saxophonist based in Northwest Arkansas, USA. Her tenor sax sound is lush and full, with an impeccable tone. Pattillo is equally comfortable conjuring the raucous energy and volume essential when playing R&B, Rock, and Soul. Born in Australia and raised in Singapore, her journey as a musician began at the age of 11 when she started playing the saxophone at the United World College of S.E Asia. It wasn’t long before her talents launched her into professional bands on the Singapore Club & Bar scene. Pattillo went on to earn a Bachelor of Music from Australia’s prestigious Queensland Conservatory of Music.
Though her tastes are expansive, Pattillo’s passion lies in leading her own electric jazz fusion ensemble. Here is where her musicality and experience present an outlet for her to bring it all together, as witnessed by her 2023 album release, “Chromazone – Alisha Pattillo.” In addition to performing, Alisha has a strong commitment to “passing it forward” as a dedicated professional educator with over two decades of teaching. Currently, Alisha teaches saxophone adjunct at Bentonville schools, in addition to a long list of students attending her private studio.
