Greetings! My name is Pat Zelenka. Thanks for this chance to present myself and my music to you.
My style of playing and writing is based in the blues, but I have never limited myself to just the blues. I’ve always felt I could learn as much from Artie Shaw and Benny Goodman as I could learn from Jimmy Page or Jimi Hendrix. To that end, I have studied every recording that has come across my path, and I have gone to great lengths to search out others, and I feel that this can be heard in my playing.
I want my guitar to speak to people of the emotions I feel when playing. I want to communicate joy, sadness, frustration, and peace. The whole gamut of human emotions. Music is my solace, and the guitar has been my conduit.
Music for me is a religion, and I attend my musical church on a daily basis. Music has taken me to a place I would not have otherwise come to. I am forever grateful that I discovered music when I did, and hope that it continues to bring me the peace that I have only been able to find by creatively pursuing it.
Thanks for taking the time to check out LO FI HAPPINESS, and I hope that you enjoy listening to it as much as I have enjoyed writing and recording it. Take Care.
