Pat Peterson Born in Smithville, Texas, and now lives in Dallas, Texas.  Pat first saw John Mellencamp performing “Hurt So Good” on Saturday Night Live.  “He had an awkward wat of moving,” she recalls with a chuckle, “but very interesting, too.  As a dancer I was intrigued,” Only a few months later, Peterson would hear that Mellencamp was auditioning singers / dancers, and she jumped at the chance to be one of the first women to join the band.  A decade later, the versatile Peterson continues to add pizazz to Mellencamp’s live performances when she’s not persuing her own singing career --such as the gig in the summer of 1992 on the Bee Gees’ European.
