Summer Music Series: Peking and the Mystics

Bring a blanket or chair and enjoy some great summer music outdoors! Cool treats will be provided. Family friendly! Part of our Summer Music Series.

After three-plus years lurking in the shadows of COVID, Peking and the Mystics is delighted to return to the business of live gigging. All five guys are accounted for as the group prepares to kick off its summer season with a performance at the Rowley Public Library on Tuesday, July 11, at 7:00 pm.

PATM was formed by alumni of Tufts University and its a cappella singing group, the Beelzebubs.  Over the years, PATM has toured nationally and internationally, including trips to the Far East and South America; recorded four albums, with a fifth in session at present; appeared on television and radio programs; and has been featured in the print media.  The group’s eclectic repertoire, comprising original arrangements by PATM members themselves, features vintage vocals from such genres as R&B, swing, doo wop and pop music, representing every decade from the 1930s to the 2000s.

PATM is Gene Blake, Methuen, Mass., on tenor 2; Andrew Cranin, Brewster, Mass., on baritone 1; Chris Parker, Ipswich, Mass., on bass; David Pratt, Wellesley, Mass., on tenor 1; and Tim Vaill, North Andover, Mass., on baritone 2.

This event will be held indoors in our meeting room if we experience inclement weather.
