They tour the world performing – and could live anywhere near a major airport – but jazz duo Tuck & Patti call Menlo Park “home.” “We know everyone,” says Patti Cathcart, who grew up on the Peninsula. “Our street is great. We have a real sense of community. There’s a block party every year. We’ve watched children grow up.”
The two met in 1978 when Patti auditioned for a San Francisco-based band that Tuck Andruss, who’s originally from Oklahoma but came west to go to Stanford, was playing in. They’ve been together as performers and couple ever since. When not touring, they can often be seen around Menlo – and almost always together.
