Doors: 7:00 PM Show: 7:30 PM J Roddy Walston Patton Magee Carrying New York with down the Sante Fe Trail on his debut solo project, Patton Magee is carving out the next chapter of the Great American Songbook.Born in Texas to Louisiana parents and raised in constant transit alongside nine brothers and sisters, Patton took in the United States through the backseat window of their GMC Savannah passanger van as his family moved from the Gulf Coast to the San Francisco bay, then the Rocky Mountains and finally the Carolinas. Attending college in the Appalacjian Mountains of North Carolina, Patton co-formed rock’n roll band The Nude Party with his new college classmates. Trading that GMC Savannah for a Chevrolet Van, he penned a minor hit that took the band across the country and Europe many times, opening tours for Jack White, The Arctic Monkeys, and Orville Peck, and taking the stage at major festivals like Bonnaroo, Lollapalooza, and Austin City Limits.Finally settled a while in New York City, the ultimate respite for all the world’s transients, he is breaking into a new world of Country-Western Americana Rock’n Roll with a true traveler’s voice – invoking the Arizona desert gunfighter ballads of Marty Robbins, the NYC quick fix literary hits of Lou Reed, slinky bayou sounds of Dr John, and center of the USA rock & roll rapscallion-ism of Chuck Berry. Well equipped with timeless tales of heartbreak, death, and dilemma.Patton’s latest stake on songwriting is a fresh buffet of many Americas touching on one plate.

Shark Earrings Shark Earrings is a four piece indie/emo band based out of New Jersey. Lead singer Sammi Kantor, bassist Max Adams, guitarist Mike Landolfi, and drummer Joey Hess met in the attic of a three-story Wawa in Glassboro, where the local scene helped them develop their sound and continues to provide them with constant support. Their debut EP, “Mutual Toxic Positivity”, combines their various influences and went #1 on every Billboard chart (don’t look that up). The band is currently working on a new album, and when not writing or performing you can usually find them wrestling each other at basement shows or drowning in shallow puddles.Mules of the Cellar Mules of the Cellar is a four-piece alt-rock band from Atlantic City, NJ, consisting of guitarists Jamie Fortunato (The Washups) and Ryan Connelly (Robert’s Basement), bassist Angelo Tornetta (The Goons), and drummer/producer Michael Moore.
