Music Makers is thrilled to present an evocative evening of music on February 19, featuring acclaimed vocalist Marin Patenaude alongside multi-instrumentalist Dan Wise. This special concert invites audiences into the intimate atmosphere of All Saints, transformed for the night into a space for reflection, storytelling, and sonic adventure.
All Saints ‘After Dark’ is a series devoted to music that feels personal, adventurous, and alive in the moment. Stripped of formality and illuminated by mood and resonance, these concerts encourage listeners to experience sound differently — closer, warmer, and more connected. Whether you’re a longtime concertgoer or new to live performance, this evening promises a rare chance to encounter music in a setting that prioritizes presence, atmosphere, and shared listening.
Marin Patenaude is celebrated for a voice that blends vulnerability, power, and precision. Known for her expressive range and emotional depth, she moves effortlessly between genres, shaping songs with honesty and nuance. Her performances are not just heard, but felt — drawing listeners into each phrase and story. With a style that embraces both subtlety and boldness, Patenaude creates performances that linger long after the final note fades. She has a rare ability to make a room feel both expansive and intimate, guiding audiences through music that is tender, charismatic, and fearless.
Performing the opening set and joining Marin for a few songs is multi-instrumentalist, sideman, bandleader, and songwriter Dan Wise, a versatile and adventurous collaborator whose musicianship moves easily across worlds. Having played in more projects than can be counted — from backing fiddlers and songwriters to performing fado in theatrical productions — Wise brings deep stylistic range to every performance. He is equally at home alongside roots and folk music, within a klezmer orchestra, or driving the sound of his loud and heavy project Tremblers of Sevens. Balancing technical finesse with intuitive responsiveness, Wise’s playing allows the music to breathe, shift, and unfold in real time, creating performances that feel both grounded and exploratory.
Together, Patenaude and Wise form a dynamic partnership built on listening, curiosity, and musical conversation. Audiences can expect an evening that moves between intimate ballads, rich harmonies, and moments of playful exploration. Rather than a conventional recital, All Saints ‘After Dark’ offers a true listening experience — one that welcomes stillness, surprise, and emotional connection in a comfortable, relaxed room. The acoustics of All Saints enhance every whisper and swell, wrapping the music around the room and its listeners.
Music Makers is proud to curate performances that celebrate artistry, collaboration, and community. This concert reflects that spirit: music created not just to entertain, but to connect people through shared atmosphere and presence. Whether you come to be inspired, comforted, or simply immersed in beautiful sound, this evening offers space to pause and enjoy something meaningful.
