Bad Penny Pleasuremakers

New Orleans-based Bad Penny Pleasuremakers, Matt Bell and Joy Patterson,  met on a blind date shortly after Hurricane Katrina and have been playing music and traveling together ever since. Their music is deeply rooted in, and influenced by, their New Orleans community, as well as pre war-era stringbands, ragtime, acoustic blues, country blues  and traditional jazz—from Louisiana and beyond. 

The Bad Penny Pleasuremakers, as a band, is a collaboration of talented New Orleans musicians (including long time Saratoga Springs resident Jonathan Greene) who love the early sounds of music coming from this region and just really love playing the good old good stuff together.
