Experience Leonard Patton live on September 14th

Leonard Patton will perform at the Appell Center for the Performing Arts in York, Pennsylvania on September 14, 2026. Patton is a contemporary blues and soul artist known for his emotive vocals and guitar work, often incorporating elements of gospel and jazz into his performances. His style draws heavily from the traditions of Chicago blues while exhibiting a modern sensibility in songwriting and arrangement. He has released several albums to critical acclaim, establishing himself as a rising figure in the American blues scene.

The Appell Center for the Performing Arts is a restored historic theatre located in downtown York. Originally opened in 1910 as the William Penn Theatre, it underwent significant renovations and reopened in 2011 following a substantial fundraising campaign led by the Appell Foundation. The building features both a large concert hall – the Santander Performing Arts Center – and a smaller, more intimate venue known as the Stage on Grace. The center aims to provide diverse programming including concerts, Broadway shows, films, and educational outreach programs to the York community. Its restoration preserved many of its original architectural details, blending historical charm with modern amenities.
