LIVE MUSIC 12-3PM and 6-9PM!
MICHAEL PATRICK ON STAGE 12-3PM
Named Top Country Folk Artist by the Jersey Acoustic Music Awards, Michael Patrick prides himself on energetic live shows with audience participation and interaction encouraged. You can catch Michael performing his original show with his backup band, solo acoustic shows or with his band of esteemed musicians known as "The Suburban Hillbillies." In addition, Patrick made quite a mark on the tri-state area recalling the spirit of Johnny Cash in the Tribute show he founded, "RING of FIRE" Band!
Since moving to a rural area on the west coast of New Jersey along the Delaware River, where “his neighbors are now cows and horses!” Patrick has found country living provides inspiration. Shortly thereafter he quit his day job of 15 years to perform and write music full-time. He’s even produced two new albums, Crossing Bridges and HOME. Country, Folk, Rock, Blues, and even Gospel blend cohesively in Patrick’s songs, which are inspired by the likes of Johnny Cash, Hank Williams, Woody Guthrie, Lyle Lovett, and John Prine. Always heartfelt, sometimes autobiographical, with some signature sarcasm and humor thrown in for good measure. Patrick has developed an appreciation of simplistic story-telling lyrics, catchy hooks and memorable melodies.
Patrick has wowed audiences with opening performances for Steve Earle, Dave Mason, Asleep at The Wheel, Pure prairie League, Randy Travis, Clint Black, Marty Stuart, Rosanne Cash, Carlene Carter, Billy Joe Shaver, Gary Allen, David Allan Coe, Justin Townes Earle, Chris Knight, The Marshall Tucker Band, and The Outlaws just to name a few.
Patrick has 6 original albums, HOME (2021), John Wayne Movies (2018), Another Song You Never Heard (2012), Something to Fall Back On (2008), Roots and Branches (2004), and most recently, Crossing Bridges, released on September 29, 2023.
ZACH RUSSACK ON STAGE 6-9PM
For someone whose music is largely characterized by still introspection, Zach Russack doesn't really slow down. Since releasing his eponymous debut album in 2016, the Hackettstown, NJ-based singer songwriter has worked as an audio engineer and started to build an home, maintained a steady stream of gigs around NYC and family with partner and long-time collaborator Cat Cirotti - all while continuing to develop new material for his sophomore album.
His music, which broaches many subjects and is often marked by intricate acoustic guitar and his soft vocal style, chronicles his reflections on the dichotomies in his life: Growing up in a small town and performing in a big city or building a secure foundation to start a family while pursuing professional goals in the music industry, just to name a few.
Whatever the challenge, on whichever side of the coin, Russack's music and performances illustrate he has the versatility to handle them all.
