New review for the Pat Zelenka Project from the Alpena Blues Coalition in Alpena Michigan:
"We were pleased and honored to have The Pat Zelenka Project perform at the 9th Annual Alpena Blues Festival.
They got the crowd energized and excited by delivering the kind of Blues music they come to hear. In doing so they were an important contributor to the success of this year's festival.
Their unique expression of the Blues, blending in some of the classic rock that has its roots in the Blues, appealed to a broad base of our Festival attendees."
Best regards,
The Alpena Blues Coalition
Ed Hickok, President
Tom Daniel, Director & Entertainment Chairperson

If it grooves, it moves me, and if it moves me, it is an influence. I love everything from Mozart to Elvis to Widespread Panic to The Meters to Robert Johnson.
