Patuxent Music is an independent record label in Rockville, Maryland.
History Bluegrass musician Tom Mindte started recording music by other artists in 1984 with a reel to reel recorder in his father's air conditioning shop. In 1990 Tom opened his own studio, and started the Patuxent label in 1996.
Notable projects Patuxent Music's first project was recording fiddler Joe Meadows in 1995. When the original record label couldn't release the recording, Patuxent released it as their first album in 1996.
The Patuxent Banjo Project compiled music from 40 past and current banjo players from the Baltimore-Washington corridor. It was produced by musicians Mark Delaney and Randy Barrett. The backing band included David McLaughlin (mandolin), Danny Knicely (guitar), Tad Marks (fiddle), and Mark Schatz (bass). Among the banjo players recorded were Bill Emerson, Eddie Adcock, Tom Adams, and Roni Stoneman.
