Patrick Dodd, a fan-favorite contestant from The Voice, will be joining us every Thursday to rock out with his band and the occasional special guest. Swing on by the Tasting Room for some southern-styled rock and jam influenced tunes, $3 pints of Highland Pilsner, and a limited small batch brew that we like to call For the Love of Dodd!
About Patrick Dodd
After years of honing his chops on Beale Street in Memphis, TN, Native Memphian, Patrick Dodd was recently thrust into the national spotlight as a contestant on NBC’s The Voice. Viewers loved his signature rasping growl that echoes with soul and heartfelt rocking rhythm that Dodd displayed on stage for a worldwide audience to hear! Viewers cried “Foul” when Dodd was eliminated from the show and demanded that he get on the road and tour.
Patrick and his band have been influenced by such gifted players as Gregg Allman, The Black Crowes, The Black Keys, Gov’t Mule and Derek Trucks along with soul icons like Steve Wonder and Ray Charles. The group gets every room moving, from the first note to the final guitar flourishes.
