Live in the Lobby Season Finale
June 6 —Double bill with Michael Korb and John-Flor Sisante
Our tradition for the June "Season Finale" of Live in the Lobby is to invite performers back that have played here before. We are pleased to present a double bill with Michael Korb and John-Flor Sisante, who have both played "Live in the Lobby" and on the PTPA main stage.

Michael Korb's lyrics surround mental, emotional and situational struggles and on the other hand his melodies are addictive and fun to sing. There's just something about his music that attracts audiences young and old, but ask anyone what it is exactly, and you're bound to only get a small piece of the story. Korb has written, recorded and released three albums of original material and also was featured on the Live in the Lobby Volume 2 "Concert for Haiti" compilation in 2009. He's been taking some time off from performing to decompress and regroup, but has a new project in the works called Moon. It's an electric 3-piece band, not too unlike the group he put together for Patchogue Jam 4 in 2010. Moon, however, is an all new project with democratically written material.

John-Flor Sisante is a Philippine-born, Long Island raised multi-instrumental singer-songwriter. He tries to write songs that mean something, and is trying his best to live a life with meaning. He expresses that struggle and that hope through his music. He released a stunning album "The Music of Things" in 2004 that got glowing reviews from the media and music fans alike. He also did an amazing solo acoustic version of his song "Here We Are" for the 2008 CD "Live in the Lobby Volume 1" CD using "loops" to create a five part guitar backing track. Since then he has released various songs at various times in various ways such as MySpace, Facebook and free downloads on line but has yet to release a follow up to that stellar first album. He has performed live now and then, but very rarely in Suffolk County. We managed to convince him to come back to the Lobby again, to bring some new songs, some old favorites, and no doubt some surprises for his long time fans!

September 12—Townshend In The Lobby

The annual benefit for Live In The Lobby

 

JellyBand, Cassandra House, Dave March, Groney & Friends, Hank Stone, Bryan Gallo & The Broken Wheels, Aaron Palmadessa, Paul Gilmore's Cheap & Dirty and more present the music of Pete Townshend including his solo work and the music of The Who.

 

For our annual Live in the Lobby fund raiser, we stray from the best original music on Long Island and invite local musicians to "Cover" a major songwriter with acoustic and electric arrangements. These musicians and our volunteers donate their time and talent to raise funds that support our local music programs such as Live in the Lobby.

 

October 10—The Jen Chapin Trio with Special Guest Dave March

Season 9 Opening Night

We are pleased to welcome the Jen Chapin Trio, with special guest Dave March, for the opening of the ninth season of Live in the Lobby at the Patchogue Theatre.

 

Jen Chapin is a Long Island native, activist, educator and mother currently based in Brooklyn. Jen has toured internationally and released seven CDs to date, including her most recent, “Reckoning” that is coming out his summer. Jen headlined the 2008 Long Island Cares benefit on the PTPA main stage that we co-produced with Acoustic Long Island and her performance blew us away. This intimate show in the Lobby will be a rare look at an amazing songwriter and performer. Her music has been described as "jazz tinged urban folk – story songs that search for community and shared meaning, powered by the funk, soul and improvisation of the city.” Her recordings have included her own stellar compositions as well as tasteful interpretations of songs by a wide variety of other songwriters. Critics have hailed her work as “brilliant.. soulfully poetic” (NPR), “thoughtful.. worth-savoring” (People), “addictive” (Boston Globe), “smart, observant, lyrically deft, politically aware and emotionally intuitive” (Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel). JazzTimes has called her “a first-rate storyteller” while Relix regards her as “one of the freshest voices singing today." She is a board member, former Chair and former Secretary of the Board of WhyHunger, the dynamic hunger-fighting organization founded by her late father, Harry Chapin. Learn more and hear Jen’s music at www.jenchapin.com .

"I never really consider myself as a singer-songwriter," Dave March once said during a rare solo performance Live in the Lobby. Well, we respectfully disagree. He has a beautiful voice and writes amazing songs. Dave is a founding member of Miles To Dayton, known for their four-part vocal harmony and clever songwriting that has captivated local audiences since the release of their first album in 2005. Truly a member of the Lobby family, Dave has performed many times at PTPA on the main stage and in the Lobby with Miles to Dayton, Ed Travers, Jay Scott, Cassandra House and more bands than we can count. He has also occasionally, very occasionally performed solo, like when we recorded him for our "Live in the Lobby Volume One" CD. And it's always special, so don't be late. This will be an amazing evening!

Doors open at 7:00 and seating is limited.
