As we close out an incredible summer at the Pattenburg House, we just want to say thank you.
To the guests who have been with us for years, the new faces we’ve gotten to know this summer, and everyone who walked through our doors for the first time and has since become a familiar face, thank you. Thank you for supporting us, supporting these musicians, and continuing to show up for local live music.
This summer gave us a lot to be grateful for. Packed rooms, beautiful days and evenings outside, new friendships, old friends, great meals, and a whole lot of music. None of it happens without the artists who trust us with their music and the people who come out to hear it.
Fall is around the corner, and we couldn’t be more excited about what we have planned. Different season, same goal. Good food, great music, and a place where people can spend a few hours together and hopefully leave with a memory.
As we head into Labor Day weekend and the unofficial end of summer, it’s also worth remembering what the holiday is about. Labor Day is a celebration of the working people who built our communities and continue to keep them moving every day. To our own hardworking crew, to the musicians who make a living doing what they love, and to all of you who work hard all week and choose to spend some of your time off with us, we appreciate you.
Here’s what’s happening this week:
WEDNESDAY 9/2 | OPEN MIC | 8PM
We start where we always do. Open Mic Wednesday. Come play, come listen, bring something new, or just grab a seat and see where the night takes us. One of our favorite traditions at the Pattenburg House.
THURSDAY 9/3 | HAND PICKED BY JOE CIROTTI | 6:30PM
Joe welcomes Mike Alexander and Luke Youngman for this week’s Hand Picked, and there are a couple of great connections here. Mike is one of the original members of the Joe Cirotti Trio, so he and Joe have a long musical history together. These days, Mike and Luke are also bandmates in the Dirty Strings Band, giving the two of them a chemistry all their own. Bring those relationships together for a Hand Picked night and there’s a lot of musical history, familiarity and trust on that stage. Three great players who know each other well, with plenty of room to see where the music takes them.
FRIDAY 9/4 | THE ANTHONY KRIZAN BAND | 8PM
We’re incredibly excited to welcome Anthony Krizan to the Pattenburg House. Anthony’s résumé speaks for itself. He was a lead guitarist for the Spin Doctors, has shared stages with the Rolling Stones and the Allman Brothers, and co-wrote Lenny Kravitz’s “Stand By My Woman.” His own band lives somewhere in that killer intersection of rock, blues, soul and swampy groove. This is a serious player and songwriter bringing a serious band into our room.
SATURDAY 9/5 | JIMMY LEAHEY & THE GMG | 8PM
Jimmy Leahey returns with the Gray Man Group. Jimmy started playing guitar at seven under the guidance of his father, respected New Jersey jazz guitarist and teacher Harry Leahey, and went on to tour and record with artists including John Waite, Patty Smyth, Martha Davis, Gloria Gaynor and Alison Krauss. He’s also one of those players we’re simply always happy to have back in the house.
SUNDAY 9/6 | THE FLEXIBLE FLYERS | 4PM
We close the holiday weekend with the Flexible Flyers. Four longtime veterans of the New Jersey music scene whose collective history runs through bands including Blues Elixir, Cowtown, Freewheelin, Blue Sparks From Hell, Kinderhook and The Tones. Americana, blues, classic rock and country rock make this exactly the kind of Sunday afternoon we want around here.
Thank you for an incredible summer. Thank you for believing in what we do. And most importantly, thank you for continuing to support live music.
We’ve got a hell of a fall ahead of us.
Music Lives Here.
