A live review of Pat Fulgoni over at SXSW in Austin, Texas in Billboard Magazine declared that “Fulgoni could sing a pearl from its oyster”. They ain’t wrong and UK magazine Blues Matters adds “completely blown away because he can sing, I mean really sing, ridiculously well”
In his time Pat has sung across many genres and worked with award winning producers as well as touring the world as a live artist. As far as blues goes, he cut his teeth over in the Czech Republic with various greats from that scene, performing on breakfast TV and playing the Blues Alive Festival, Sumperk.
Pat’s previous release “Dark Side of the Blues (Pat Fulgoni Live In Prague)’ was very well received, Chicago Blues Guide saying “a collection of impeccably reworked blues and rock covers.” And now after 3 years of gigging including festivals like Great British Rhythm & Blues, Buxton Blues, Blues Alive (Czech), Tenby Blues, Beatherder, Solfest, Leeds Unity, venues and clubs including Pat’s own beloved Huddersfield Blues Club and Bluesbury fest efforts, the new Pat Fulgoni Blues Experience band is ready! Sit back and listen to the blues opus that is the eponymous “Pat Fulgoni Blues Experience” album!
