SARANAC LAKE – Retro Funk & Dance Rock finds its way to “Partio,” also known as The Waterhole Music Lounge’s free concert series, Party on the Patio, Thursday, July 25 with The Jaden Carlson Band.

The Jaden Carlson Band is a power quartet from Boulder, Colorado, led by 18-year-old guitarist Jaden Carlson. Their newest album, “Keep It Movin” taps into their unique chemistry to develop their blend of jam, funk, hip-hop, electronic, and jazz.

Jaden Carlson is a guitarist, vocalist, keyboardist, and producer. She is the youngest musician to play on the Red Rocks Stage at age 11, with Michael Franti and Spearhead and again the next night with Blues Traveler. She has also had numerous sit-ins with Umphrey’s McGee, The Revivalists, Lettuce, Dumpstaphunk, The Main Squeeze, The Nth Power, Twiddle, The Werks, TAUK, SOJA, The Motet, Dopapod, members of Snarky Puppy, Vulfpeck, Big Gigantic, The String Cheese Incident and many more.

As John Underwood Schumm of The Grateful Web states, “The final product comes off sounding a step above the similarly talented funk-jam combos coming out of the high-altitude Colorado Front Range. With Jaden’s ever evolving knowledge for the guitar, and the unfolding nature of her lyrics, it’s only a matter of time before we see her adorning front pages of publications, listening to her recordings on Sirius/XM’s Jam On, and touring through the club scene of America.”

As always, the Party on the Patio music series if a free event for those ages 21 and up. Music starts at 7 p.m. Rain location is inside the Upstairs Music Lounge.
