They play the original music of their front man, Cameron Kinney, who plays guitar and vocals.

Patti Nolan & The Undeniables

Wednesday, December 17 // Door at 7 PM // Show at 7:30 PM // $12 // $15-$20 Artist Supporter Patti Nolan, born in Seattle, WA, and raised in Missoula MT, called New York City her home for most of her adult life. She also spent 4 years in San Francisco, CA, 2 years in Monterey, CA and 1 year in Catania, Sicily. Before leaving Missoula, she could be seen doing hootenannies around town accompanying herself on the guitar. During the early years in New York, Patti sang at clubs, including The Bushes and Catch a Rising Star, while working under the musical direction and tutelage of Danny Holgate. In addition, she was one of the founding members of the jazz fusion group, Afra Venture, which performed original material. Patti’s musical education credits include studies at the San Francisco and Brooklyn Conservatories of Music, and the Borough of Manhattan Community College. While living in the Monterey Bay area, Patti appeared regularly at the Café Monterey in the Grand Hyatt Regency, working with Eddie Mendenhall, Bobby Phillips, Lee Durley and the late Ace Hill. Patti, also, appeared at the Monterey Café, Morgan’s, with Don Pendergrast. After her stay in California, she returned to New York City and reestablished her position in the New York City Music Community. She appeared at Charlie O’s, on 45th St and 8th Ave in Manhattan. She was accompanied by the well-known and respected Donald Smith and his trio. She also performed at Café Creole, 118th St. and 2nd Ave in Manhattan, with the Alan Rosenthal Trio. Patti worked at perfecting her craft performing at open mikes at Cleopatra’s Needle and Porters in Manhattan. She could also be seen sitting in with the great Harry Whitaker at Arturo’s in the Village. Since returning to Missoula to live, Patti sat in with the Big Sky Mudflaps at Plonk and appeared at the Jodi Marshall Tribute in St Anthony’s Parrish, Aug 9th, 2017. Patti had previously worked with Jodi on a jazz demo. In March of 2019 she performed a jazz show at the Downtown Dance Collective to a sold-out crowd with the Jim Driscoll trio. The show was recorded and a live demo was created. Now that she is back in Missoula, Patti appeared many times at the Top Hat for their Jazz Wednesdays and has established a strong following. She is continuing to work with other musicians. Patti’s goal is to keep the jazz classics and standards alive and vibrant, and not ever forget the forefathers of this genre In September of 2022 Patti met pianist and arranger Ben Schuberg. Ben’s experience in a variety of genre’s supported and enhanced Patti’s vision of a jazz fusion group. They have performed primarily at the ZACC, a fabulous showroom for music and entertainment on Main Street in downtown Missoula, MT. Even though jazz is Patti’s preferred genre to perform, the musical influences in her life are varied and have their impact on her performance choices. It became obvious that Patti had to find musicians who could play many types of music so when Patti was introduced to Ben Schuberg, a fine pianist who plays in several groups of different genres, her vision became a reality. Then Ben brought in a saxphonist, Graeme Pletscher. Pete Hand on bass and Ed Stallings on drums, joined the group. Patti had worked with Ed and Pete since 2019. Patti Nolan and the Undeniables came into existence. They were part of a very successful fundraiser for KUFM of NPR and have done many other gigs in and out of Missoula, private and public. Patti Nolan and the Undeniables will continue to play new and innovative music around Missoula and beyond. The most recent demo can be heard at pattinolan.bandcamp.com.
