In an age where social media gives music fans closer access to artists, Pat McGee Band continues to showcase its relevance. Throughout their nearly two-hour performance, frontman McGee dedicated a track to a fan who hasn’t seen them live in 10 years, all thanks to a Facebook message he received.
“See, I’m the guy on Facebook that responds to you,” he said.
Later in the night, McGee went on to explain a suspicious Facebook message he received asking for his home address that read, “I have something you lost that you might miss.” Four days later a stolen guitar was returned to him.
Additionally, McGee has taken to Facebook to talk to his fans on a daily basis and fill them in on his latest record, No Wrong Way to Make It Right. Friday night acted as a private release party for Pat McGee Band. Although the album isn’t “officially” out yet, McGee said he had some copies available for eager fans.
While concertgoers seemed pleased to hear the new material, it was the older classics that caused the most excitement. The band kicked off their set to screams and played energetic fan favorite “Rebecca.” With a fast-paced musical introduction, Pat McGee Band quickly captured audience attention.
