All levels of play are welcome (try to keep with the chords/notes/rhythm of the songs. Performance songs are also welcome.
If you do not have an acoustic instrument we might have an extra. Message the host for more info.
Please remember we will have two hours to play so try to keep the song breaks to a minimum. This is inside to keep in mind there will be limited space but no limit on players.

Patty’s musical style is a unique fusion of folk, rock, and country with a touch of jazz. Born in central New York, Patty was given some Joan Baez tickets when she was 15 years old, and that changed the trajectory of her life.

She soon started playing the college circuit, folk clubs, and coffeehouses in New England and New York with her band, Wildfire. In addition to performing around town, the band also played for Hillary Clinton during her run for senator from New York.
