Larry Rodgers of The Arizona Republic recently wrote about Renee Patrick:
"Hidden gems: Arizona singer Renee Patrick growing fans."
Renee has gained many fans in Rim Country since coming up to perform here for almost tens years. Joining her will be multiple Grammy nominee and perennial favorite among international jazz fans, Judy Roberts, a headliner in her own right.
Valley-based jazz and R&B singer Renee Patrick was raised by musical parents who surrounded her with the sounds of Motown and doo-wop, but she was a late bloomer when it came to getting onstage herself. It wasn't until shewas in her 30's and a mother of two that she summoned the nerve to sing at an open-microphone night in Scottsdale in the late 90's.
She then began signing almost weekly at the Pita Jungle Restaurant in Chandler (an open jam where drummer Gerry Reynolds continues to lead the house trio.) Having watched her father, George Grant, performing in the legendary Ink Spots and her mother, Teresa Richardson, sing on Motown recording sessions motivated and encouraged her to pursue a singer career of her own.
Her career really took-off when she teamed-up with veteran R&B and jazz pianist Steve Denney when they started performing in a Scottsdale Restaurant. She is now performing at Malee's Thai Bistro on Monday's (with Judy Roberts), The Grill at the Wigwam (with Steve Denney) on Wednesday's, Remington's (with Judy Roberts) on Thursday's, at Sassi's (with Steve Denney) on Saturday's, and a Friday each month at Asia.
We are very fortunate to have Renee Patrick and Judy Roberts return to Payson for this very special performance.
$5 donation at the door includes refreshments.
Seating limited to 225, and while we do not require an RSVP, a return response with the number that plan to attend will help us to plan this event.
