PATRICK DAVIS & THE MIDNIGHT CHOIR: Tennessee born South Carolina raised singer songwriter Patrick Davis has long been known for his abilities as an accomplished songwriter with over 70 of his songs recorded by artist ranging from Guy Clark & Robert Randolph to Jimmy Buffett & Imelda May, but it may very well be his latest creative endeavor that ends up being the music for which he is most fondly remembered. After a decade plus inside the too often homogenized Nashville Music Row Machine Patrick Davis & His Midnight Choir is Patrick’s rediscovering (and reaffirming) his faith in the sound, sincerity & soul of the timeless songs, artists & music that moved him to pick up the guitar (& pen) in the first place. Built on Davis’ love for classic sounds & songwriting Patrick Davis & His Midnight Choir, with it’s horns, backing vocalists and song structures, hark on the legendary recordings of Van Morrison, Joe Cocker, JJ Cale, Ray Charles & Bruce Springsteen while at the same time closely navigating the musical waters explored by today’s Tedeschi Trucks, Nathaniel Rateliff, Amos Lee, Jason Isbell & others. While Patrick’s songwriting, showmanship and band leading never change the members of PD’s Midnight Choir are an ever rotating line up of world class musicians and singers from PD’s extensive rolodex of musical friends & even family members… as his sister Megan leads the background singers & his dad Rusty plays lead guitar on select shows in the Southeast. WHISKEY JAM VIP BAR! Whiskey Jam' Whiskey photographed above by Brooke Stevens Photography. Enjoy Whiskey Jam Whiskey from the VIP bar in our reserved VIP areas! Whiskey Jam Whiskey is hand crafted small batch American whiskey with a taste perfected at the world renowned Firefly Distillery in Charleston, SC & a name that comes from one of Nashville, TN’s most beloved Music Row Songwriters’ Showcases, the Whiskey Jam. THE WHISKEY JAM STORY: Singer/Songwriter Patrick Davis, Firefly's Scott Newitt and Whiskey Jam's Ward Guenther photographed above by Brooke Stevens Photography. In 2011, Nashville Songwriter Ward Guenther gathered a group of his fellow music row Songwriter & Artist friends together for what was supposed to be a one time only Monday night jam session filled with good friends, good music and good whiskey, but what Ward ended up creating on that random 2011 Monday night was actually something much bigger...something that has now been running strong every single Nashville Monday night for over 11 years.....a little Music City institution known as Whiskey Jam. In 2018, Ward and another of his longtime Nashville Singer-Songwriter friends, Patrick Davis, decided to join forces with Scott Newitt and Jim Irvin of South Carolina's legendary Firefly Distillery to take the Whiskey Jam name even further by creating a world class American whiskey made to be enjoyed not just once a week in Music City, but every night everywhere. Ward, Patrick and Firefly's Whiskey Jam Whiskey is handcrafted small batch American whiskey born from the ides that great whiskey, just like a great song, should always be expertly crafted, memorable from the start and shared with friends.
