The Old Fashioneds
Check out this Review! “Saw the Old Fashioneds live last night at Sturdy Shelter Brewing in Batavia. It was the second time I’d seen them perform and they were amazing! Every song a hit, every guitar solo was killer and vocals by Pat and Marco just gorgeous. They are seasoned musicians with such chemistry after playing together for so many years. (25ish maybe? Must confirm) I heard them perform Norah Jones, Elvis, Fleetwood Mac, Tears for Fears, Shania Twain, Michael Jackson, Tina Turner, I even remember some Flashdance, too! Check them out for sure! Great time!”
