Live Music: Chef Patrice Olivon of JโAime Madeleine
Chef Patrice Olivon, the one and only! Former White House Chef, French Embassy Chef, and Iron Chef winner and now โฆ Musician at the market!
โThank you so much for giving me the chance to play at the market this Saturday. Though Iโve played guitar for years, this is my first time performing live, and Iโve been practicing all summer to prepare. Iโm stepping out of my comfort zone to follow a dream that means a lot to me. Iโll be sharing songs by artists I love, plus an original piece inspired by my brotherโs brave fight with cancer. Iโm truly excited to share my music and connect with everyone there.โ
Due to his using his hands to play the guitar, there will be no crepes at the market this weekend!
