Pat Wictor makes his home in many musical worlds. Grounded in rural blues and gospel traditions, Wictor’s lean, poetic songs and expressive guitar playing are seasoned with jazz, pop, improvisational surprise, philosophy, and social commentary. Wictor currently tours solo and in a variety of duos. He is also a music educator of note, teaching workshops on guitar, songwriting, body percussion, and vocal and instrumental improvisation. "Soft-spoken and articulate, in the 1930's he could have been a dust bowl preacher. The sermons, accompanied by the choir of his slide guitar, would have brought comfort to many a soul." (Richard Cuccaro, Acoustic Live) (patwictor.com)
We respectfully acknowledge that the Rivertowns stand on the unceded territory of the Munsee, Lenape, and Wappinger peoples.

A gentle reminder to those online to refrain from using the Zoom chat to share "To: Everyone" during the Sunday service. Treat virtual worship as you would in-person worship, and use the time to listen, contemplate, and sing along with hymns. Afterward, feel free to share your comments, compliments, and feedback during coffee hour. You may "whisper" to another online individual during service by selecting their name and typing your chat to them directly.
