Pat McGee's Down The Hatch is like no other destination event out there. For 4 days, you chill on the shoreline, swim in the ocean, make new friends, reunite with old ones—all to the sounds of intimate sets of amazing music by our nation's top artists.

The bands and singer-songwriters perform during the day, literally with toes in the sand, while you relax in your beach chairs with coolers by your side.

At night we tear it up with full band rock shows in the ballroom and venues in town. There are songwriting/guitar lesson workshops, morning strolls and maybe even an artist-hosted group workout for those interested!

Lifelong friends are made at DTH…it’s just that kind of time.

While in OBX, we encourage you to check out this quaint island of North Carolina— it’s technically still the “off season” so we have the run of the place!

LODGING: (NOT INCLUDED WITH TICKET)

We recommend you staying at host property, Ramada Plaza.

There are plenty of beautiful rental homes and adjacent hotels to choose from if you prefer to stay offsite.

This is a non-fundable ticket, but you can transfer or resell if need be. THIS TICKET HAS NO TICKETING FEES! YAY!!

Do you ever get that feeling after a vacation that you need another, more laid-back, buffer vacation, if you will, to reenter society? I’ve got you covered!

On Sunday, May 31 from 3:00 - 7:00 PM, I will host the annual DTH Wine Down in OBX. 

If you are new to DTH, at the Wine Down I get to hang with you for the afternoon in a most unique way. We all get a chance to break bread together in a stunning, relaxed and private setting in OBX. This is an opportunity to not only extend your vacation, but for under 40 of us I put together a spread of custom eats and drinks, (literally asking each of you what your favorite libation is). We of course there are acoustic performances and we take time to have an open floor discussion, bouncing around ideas to improve DTH.

I look at this the way: I would host someone in my own home this way (or in this instance, my generous buddy Barry’s stunner of an ocean and sound-view OBX home). It’s the perfect way to put a bow on this fabulous weekend and, better yet, plan for DTH 2027! You can plan for this to be your lunch AND dinner, along with plenty of cheers moments!

THE WINE DOWN EVENT SELLS OUT VERY QUICKLY!  Don't wait on these tickets. As we get closer, all ticket purchasers will receive an email from me asking for your choice of drink, dietary restrictions, even flower preference. Yes, I do those too ;)

(If attending the Wine Down, we highly encourage you to extend your hotel stay until Monday at The Ramada.)

Cheers! -Pat

Returning to ultra intimate and exclusive space, Lyric Hall in New Haven CT. This place is all about the vibes. Get your tickets fast, this one always sell out quickly.

Whats easier than this!? PMB for a free, All-Ages show, (no tickets needed - just show up). we LOVED playing here 2 years ago and they asked us back to rock again, so rock we shall. See you then Reston!
