Virginia band 'Shines' at Karma

Good music, dancing, and a packed crowd of college students is nothing new at Club Karma. This past Wednesday night however, the club-goers were jamming to a different beat. The Pat McGee Band roared into town for its first of two nights at the Boston nightspot. On the 3rd week of the tour debuting its newest CD Shine, the band put out over two hours of great music, both new and old. Defined by fans as "grassroots, acoustic, melodic pop rock," influences from the Allman Brothers and Crosby, Stills, and Nash are not hard to spot.
