Pat Roddy Band A Scratch At Music Festival

One of the headlining bands from Tuesday’s Belmar Music Festival has been scratched from the lineup of music acts.

The Pat Roddy Band will be unable to perform at the 5th Avenue festival because of an unnamed emergency involving a band member, according to a post on the band’s Facebook page.

“Unfortunately, Roddy had an emergency and the band will not be able to perform at tonight's music fest on the beach in Belmar,’’ the post reads. “Everything is ok and the gig is still on with the Danny White Band. So go down and check them out. See you soon. Peace and understanding.”
