Come out and enjoy some great Jazz with Pat Cronly on keys. Pat began playing the piano at age 4 or 5. In a musical family that included five older brothers, all musicians, artistic expression seemed natural for Cronley, who says he always enjoyed performing. While many young aspiring musicians find out, sooner or later, that playing music isn’t going to pay the bills, Cronley has stayed true to his youthful ideals. He’s managed to make a living as a performing musician, recording mostly jazz, and, of late, has started turning his attention to writing songs.

Chris has performed at the Montreux International Jazz Festival (Switzerland), North Sea Jazz Festival (Netherlands), Bix Beiderbecke Festival (Iowa), Detroit Montreux Jazz Festival (Michigan), and Carnegie Hall (New York). A graduate of  Interlochen Arts Academy, Chris has served as the Director of Jazz at Central Michigan University and Northwestern Michigan College. As a performer his passion, energy, and mastery of the instrument engage and captivate audiences. His insight, emotion, interpretation, and creative perspective give him a style all his own.  Throughout his performing career Chris has had the privilege of performing with many of the legendary jazz artists like: Bob James, Woody Herman, Mel Torme, Billy Cobham, John McLaughlin, and Brother Jack McDuff.

Bring your family, your cooler, and a comfortable chair to enjoy some GREAT JAZZ!
