Concert: Jacob’s Cattle, w. Roy Patterson, Sat July 5

The band performs material from their new CD, Songs From My Father’s House, a collection of mostly original tunes composed by Roy Patterson based on memories of the music he listened to on a daily basis while growing up in rural Nova Scotia; a mixture of country, blues and the gamut of popular music that defined the 1960s and early 70s. CDs will be available at the gig. $10 at the door includes a free Roy Patterson CD from earlier releases.
“Roy Patterson is undoubtedly one of Canada’s leading guitarists… glorious clarity of tone, sophisticated voicings and featherlight fingerwork.” Toronto Star
