About the Band:
The 19th Street Band: Characterized by high energy and strong vocal harmonies, The 19th Street Band brings together a constellation of Americana, country and rock with a taste of punk. They ignite an audience with their passion for music, their magnetic presence and enthusiasm. Bridging the musical traditions of bluegrass and roots from Ireland to the Appalachian, their eclectic gypsy-rock spirit literally leaps from the stage and engages the crowd in the music.
The Patty Reese Band is known and celebrated for their ability to raise the roof with a "get down" rocker or to bring tears to your eyes with a heartfelt ballad. Each song is loaded with soulful vocals, harmony's and showcases some of the most critically acclaimed soloists on the East Coast. Either way, you'll find your feet moving and your heart touched by the infectious rhythms and grooves of the Patty Reese Band.
