It’s been a wild ride for the classic soul and beach music band, The Patriots.
With their regular gigs at local clubs and festivals and their welcome comeback to the stage after Covid, this band continues to influence the music scene in Eastern North Carolina .
The Patriots have had an eventful year that has clearly kept everyone entertained.
Let’s review some of their significant moments from the year 2022!
The Big Comeback
In April of 2022, The Patriots went back to playing live after the long break of the pandemic.
They started off by playing at The New Bern Country Club in a packed house.
Fans were thrilled to have the opportunity to see them live after so long. As always, they performed a fantastic set, with everyone dancing throughout the show.
Later, they elevated the Easter joy and festivities by playing at The Morehead City Country Club.
Not just that — kids ( both young and old) had the time of their lives by egg hunting in a fun way.
The audience tapped and danced the night away to iconic hits such as “More Today Than Yesterday,” “My Girl,” and “Knock On Wood,” among others. They played a memorable song for the kids — “Barefootin” kids took their shoes off and danced away to the music!
A Tragic Goodbye
On May 19, 2022, The Patriots bid a painful farewell to their beloved pal and band member, Stan White, who passed away due to heart failure. Stan loved and enjoyed playing and creating music with the band. He was a significant part of The Patriots — bringing the light in with his positivity. Stan made sure to keep his game up and constantly worked towards becoming better. The band honored Stan White by wearing a white hat to their performance.
The Patriots Family and Friends Tour
On the Memorial Weekend, the weather was perfect for a picnic — outdoorsy time.
The Patriots took advantage of this and had people shaggin’ at River Dunes Oriental, a serene sailing community.
The Patriots Family and Friends Tour continued to mark the occasion memorable by their exceptional performance. The band brought in the best of Beach and Classic Soul Music, celebrating and honoring the genre.
Masquerade Ball at the Martin County Chamber
With the area eagerly anticipating the Masquerade Ball at the Martin County Chamber in October 2022, so were The Patriots.
Having built a remarkable reputation over the years with performances that were defined as “simply stunning” and “unforgettable,” this new opportunity to entertain at such a prestigious event was one they could not deny.
They pulled out all the stops with their astonishing performance by playing musical hits like Never Found A Girl, More Today Than Yesterday, and Barefootin.
They mesmerized guests with their unique mix of class, grace, and high-energy showmanship, leaving attendees talking long after it was done.
With so much skill and style covered in one definitive performance, no wonder The Patriots are deemed to be among the most sought-after entertainment for special events.
A Definitive History
The Patriots, The Carolina’s beloved beach band, bring sunny vibes to the stage with their classic hits.
Playing crowd favorites like ‘Don’t Let The Green Grass Fool You’, Giving It Up For Your Love’, ‘Soul Man’, and ‘Midnight Hour’ — the iconic sound of Carolina Beach Music also known as shag resonates between each of their melodies.
As a result, audience members can’t help but feel uplifted by the music’s indisputable energy. Their unique fusion of jazz, rock n’ roll, and rhythm & blues creates a joyous soundscape that is full of life – something you won’t want to miss!
