Dynamic duo takes stage in Meeting House concert

Two unique Vermont veteran singer/songwriters take the stage on Saturday, June 10 at The Meeting House on the Green in Fletcher, each taking a set to create one fabulous show.

Vermont native Ben Patton has been writing, recording and performing music since the late nineties. His idiosyncratic style, combining sixties-tinged power pop, jazzy musical theater, heartfelt folk and quirky alt-rock has attracted a loyal international fan base. Ben has written and recorded fourteen solo albums, since his first in 2004.

During the pandemic, Ben began a weekly YouTube series called “Ben Sings Old Songs.” He continues to put out a new interpretation of an American Songbook gem each Wednesday morning.

Joining Patton is Tim McKenzie, who has shared the stage with many of Vermont’s finest musicians in a variety of configurations. And while touring the East Coast with a regionally popular band out of Burlington years ago (Pine Island), he also shared the bill — and the stage — with many musicians of national stature. “Giants all!” says Tim. “I, however, am about the same size I ever was … give or take 30 pounds.”

Tim’s crystalline pure vocals, guitar virtuosity, and seductive charm never fail to delight audiences, as is sure to happen during this evening’s show.

Admission is $10, with all proceeds going to fund the ongoing Meeting House on the Green Preservation Project.

The concert starts outside at 5 p.m., and light fare and desserts will be available. In the event of rain, the show will be indoors in the Meeting house.
