Chris Patchett

Expect a great evening of thoughtful and groovy music. As long as you have a place to plug in, and a spot even remotely resembling a stage, no need to worry, Chris will bring everything else he needs. A mic, a couple of guitars, an amp, and a small sound system is his basic set up. Request anywhere from one to several sets of original music and cover songs. Set length is easily modifiable to meet your needs, but sets generally last about an hour. If you would like to make any special requests, songs or otherwise, please give plenty of advance notice. If you are scheduling an after-dark outdoor event, please include this in your request, as basic stage lighting will be necessary.

An electrical outlet is the main requirement. An actual stage is not necessary, just enough space to play. Please mention if event is outdoors and after dark, as stage lighting will be needed.
If your event/venue already has a sound system to be played through, the following inputs will be needed: 1 (one) XLR for vocal microphone AND 1 (one) XLR WITH microphone for guitar amp.
