Tater Patch
Old-Time Tunes and Songs, Too!
Est. 1998

Tater Patch is one of the favorite string bands on the Delaware Valley old-time dance circuit. Formed as an instrumental trio several years ago by Shel Sandler (banjo), Judy Goldstein (fiddle) and Richard Gordon (guitar and bass fiddle), the group later added wonderful vocalists Marge and Tony Sume on fiddle and guitar.

These fine musicians play a wide variety of delightful tunes and songs for the whole family, from lively square dance tunes to songs drawn from the golden era of old-time recorded music in the 1920s. The band is available for dances, concerts, and other events where uplifting, energetic music is desired.
