The Patriots Band

What a great way to bring in Easter Weekend. Families at The Morehead City Country Club gathered for a fun egg hunt. Kids were delighted to run the grassy field and find treats all over- inside colored eggs!

Dancing to The Patriots Band Classic Soul and Beach Music was the perfect night cap to a Friday evening of fun and festivities.

The Patriots performed such classics at My Girl, More Today Than Yesterday, Soul Man, Knock On Wood, Midnight Hour, and Barefootin- a special favorite for the children who enjoyed taking off their shoes and dancing to the music.

Thank you to the Morehead City Country Club for making great memories once again.

The Patriots played all summer decades ago in Atlantic Beach as house band for one of the popular beach clubs. The beat goes on as the music carries these cultural classics into the future.

It Will Stand.

How Sweet It Is!

The Patriots recently played The New Bern Country Club to a packed crowd of good timing, fun loving, shag dancers.

Here are a few pics as the band prepped.

The Patriots unique style of Beach Music included such classics as My Girl, Midnight Hour, Knock On Wood, Slip Away, and a solid hour of fast paced dance songs. The crowd danced and clapped along for the entire performance.
