Pat McCurdy is a funny fellow. Coming from Milwaukee, he generally performs for those in Wisconsin, northern Illinois and Minneapolis, occasionally taking road trips to other states to perform.
Although he plays solo now, he used to be in various bands, such as Yipes!, The Men About Town and The Confidentials. People have defined the music he performs as "good drinking music," and he tries to appeal to the college crowd.
At each show, Pat has a free newsletter that includes a monthly schedule of his performances hand-drawn by Pat himself. His schedule is also available online on his website, where you can also sign up to receive a lifetime subscription of his newsletters for $10 and other fun stuff such as T-shirts, CDs and bumper stickers.
Pat McCurdy has a few of his albums available for purchase via iTunes, as well as songs for 99 cents. His top two most popular songs are We Love the Green and Gold, and Sex & Beer.
Often times the songs on his CDs aren't the ones performed at the shows. If he recorded every song ever written, he could produce seven or eight more albums, considering he has over 600 songs. He even mixes it up a bit and performs reggae or polka versions of the songs or changes the lyrics up.
Every once in a while, Pat will allow people up on stage to show off their talents or even sing a song with him. He sometimes has Treat Nights, where he will hand out candy or popsicles, and request nights, too.
Pat's birthday is Sept. 29, which just so happens to be the night he is performing at Oktoberfest. So if given the chance, tell him, "Happy birthday!"
He will be performing from 6:30 p.m.-9 p.m. on the Bier Halle West Stage on the Southside Festgrounds.
