Guitar ace Joel Paterson and his Trio brings you Chicago’s finest blend of jazz, swing and blues, featuring the dynamic rhythmic section of upright bassist Jeffrey Parker and Alex Hall on drums.

Joel Paterson has been a mainstay of the Chicago roots music scene for years, and his Quartet plays weekly at the iconic Green Mill Cocktail Lounge. Joel is known worldwide for his instrumental recordings reminiscent of Les Paul and Chet Atkins (his album, Hi-Fi Christmas Guitar has become a holiday cult classic, even making the Rolling Stone list of top Christmas albums of 2018).

Join us for Joel Paterson’s history of guitar pickin,’ including his fingerstyle Beatles arrangements, a healthy dose of country blues, classic jazz, Chet Atkins, Merle Travis, and much more!
