Pat McGee Band at Wolf Trap

Opener Sister Hazel put on a fine set of power pop/rock, then we got the big act (after running into Mike Clem at a Pat McGee Band show for the second year running). We were pleased that once again our favorite Todd Wright was sitting in on keys.

Throughout the set Luke Brindley also popped in, adding tasteful rhythm guitar and backing vox.

But the star of the show was Pat, leading the way through a fine mix of his songs, both old and new. I think the highlight was when he came out in the audience to make a connection with a platoon who served with his former drummer’s brother, and ended up standing on the chair next to Jill.
