The Party on the Patio series at Waterhole Music Lounge has a habit of pulling in artists you did not expect to find this deep in the Adirondacks — and Shebad on Thursday, July 2 is exactly that kind of booking.
Shebad is a Canadian indie soul duo from Guelph, Ontario, and if you have not heard them yet, the Waterhole patio on a July evening is an ideal introduction. Their sound runs on jazz-influenced melodies laid over danceable basslines — the kind of music that makes the crowd move before they realize they are doing it. They have already landed slots at Rochester International Jazz Festival and Hillside Festival, which tells you something about where this act is headed.
About Waterhole Music Lounge
Waterhole Music Lounge sits at 48 Main St. in Saranac Lake — one of the more charming villages in the North Country. The 200-capacity bar and live music space routinely books acts you would expect to find in much bigger rooms. The Party on the Patio format puts you outside, which in early July in the Adirondacks is exactly where you want to be.
Saranac Lake is about two and a half hours from Albany and not far from Lake Placid. Budget extra time for the drive — the Adirondacks reward patience, and arriving early means you can grab dinner on Main Street before the crowd hits. The North Country does not always make it easy to get to a show, but Waterhole is worth the trip.
Tickets
Tickets and event details are available through the Waterhole website. Confirm doors and set times before you head out — this is not the kind of show you want to walk in late for.
