If you have been sleeping on Saranac Lake as a concert destination, Party on the Patio is a good reason to wake up. Organ Fairchild lands at Waterhole Music Lounge on Thursday, June 25 — and a high-energy funk and soul band on an outdoor stage in the Adirondacks at the height of summer is exactly the kind of show that earns the drive.
About Organ Fairchild
Organ Fairchild is one of those Capital Region bands that makes you wonder why they are not playing to ten times as many people. They are a funk and soul outfit — heavy on groove, loose on structure in the best possible way — and they bring a live energy that scales surprisingly well to a small room. A 200-person outdoor patio is exactly the kind of intimate setting where that energy compounds fast. Expect a full set, expect to move, and do not plan an early exit.
Waterhole Music Lounge
The Waterhole sits right on Main Street in Saranac Lake, a small Adirondack town that has more going on musically than most people realize. The venue holds 200 — intimate enough that there is no bad spot in the room — and an outdoor patio show on a June evening in the North Country is hard to argue with. Build in time before the show to walk around town. You will not regret it.
From Syracuse, you are looking at about two hours through some of the most scenic country in New York State. From Albany, closer to two and a half. Either way, this is a road trip worth building an evening around.
Tickets
Organ Fairchild at Waterhole Music Lounge is on sale now. Grab your tickets here before the patio fills up — 200 capacity means this does not stay available forever.
