Mattison’s Riverwalk Grille Hosts September Live Blues Brunch Featuring the Ron Kraemer Trio

| Caryn V. Hodge |

Mattison’s Riverwalk Grille is excited to announce their September Live Blues Brunch featuring The Ron Kraemer Trio. In partnership with Realize Bradenton, every 4th Sunday of the month, Mattison’s features live blues from local, national, and even international blues musicians at the chef owned and operated, award winning restaurant on the beautiful Bradenton Riverwalk.  This month’s event is Sunday, September 25.

Ron Kraemer is not new to the blues scene, but the trio formed in 2019, and forged during the pandemic. The crew consists of Ron Kraemer on guitar and vocals, with Michael Finley on brushes and JP Coley joining the group on upright bass for the Sunday Brunch performance. They were fortunate to be based in Sarasota where a number of outdoor venues remained opened during Covid but were looking for smaller groups. While many bands across the country (and world) spent two years doing only online shows at best, the boys worked steady and grinded out over 200 gigs. Special guest Detroit Mike Hepner rounds out the Mattison’s Brunch lineup and adds the perfect complement of B-3 organ to the mix.

Brunch is served 11-4 with music from 11-2. Chef Paul Mattison has added some new and delicious items to the brunch menu like the Shakshuka, a traditional Israeli dish, a Farmhouse Flatbread, and a Mediterranean Frittata. The menu also includes house made Stuffed French Toast with strawberry preserve, cream cheese filling, fresh berries served with warm syrup and cinnamon whipped cream. Both brunch and lunch are now served every day from open- 4 pm. Signature Bloody Mary’s and bottomless Mimosas are a great way to start your Sunday!
