Pat Hare (born December 20, 1930, Cherry Valley, Arkansas, USA – died September 26, 1980, St. Paul, Minnesota, USA) was an American Memphis electric blues guitarist and singer. His heavily distorted, power chord driven electric guitar music in the early 1950's is considered an important precursor to heavy metal music. His guitar work with Little Junior's Blue Flames had a major influence on the rockabilly style, while his guitar playing on blues records by artists such as Muddy Waters was influential among 1960's British Invasion blues rock bands such as The Rolling Stones and The Yardbirds.
