16 year old PATRICK DRONEY has become one of America's phenomenal young guitar players and talented young songwriters. Winning the Robert Johnson Star Award in 2006 as one of the country's most promising young musicians, he has been turning heads since picking up the guitar at the age of 7.
Patrick has graced the stages of The Montreal Jazz Festival, The Whiskey A-Go-Go, BB King's Blues Clubs (LA and NYC), The Bamboozle Music Festival, and House of Blues, just to name a few. His band (in 2006) was even the youngest to play the Stone Pony in Asbury Park, NJ, according to Vintage Guitar Magazine. He has been the support band for such legends as BB King and the late James Brown and recently (October 2007) performed at the Taj Mahal in Atlantic City as part of the Jimi Hendrix Experience Tour, sharing the stage with Mitch Mitchell (drums) and Billy Cox (bass), the same Jimi Hendrix Experience rhythm section that played behind Hendrix at Woodstock.

Most extremely gifted musicians never get the opportunity to cite prestigious venues and festivals such as The Montreal Jazz Festival, Antone’s, House of Blues, The Whiskey A-Go-Go, B.B. Kings Blues Club & The Bamboozle Music Festival as been-there-done-that’s, much less have been requested to provide guidance & instruction to aspiring artists alongside the likes of such inspirational innovators as Steve Vai & Joe Satriani.

Steven Johnson, grandson of the legendary bluesman and Chief Operating Officer of the Foundation, hails — “Patrick blew us away. We were amazed that a musician that young could play with that much skill and dexterity and with that much soul.
We are excited to have him come play our festival."
