SARANAC LAKE — Founded and fronted by Sean Walsh on guitar and vocals, The National Reserve is a band that mines an archetypal musical seam, marrying gutbucket R&B with New Orleans funk workouts, late-night soul and boozy rock ‘n’ roll to create its own timeless brand of music.

And on Thursday, Sept. 1, the band will trek north to Saranac Lake for Party on the Patio at the Waterhole Music Lounge.

For nearly half a decade, The National Reserve spent its Friday nights lighting up bars and winning over fans with its breadth of songcraft and showmanship.

As always, Party on the Patio is a weekly free concert series for those ages 21 and up.
