16 year old PATRICK DRONEY has become one of America’s phenomenal young guitar players and talented young songwriters. He made his national recording debut on September 23, 2008 with The Other Side (Reform Records), a 12 song album that showcases his ability to write rock songs with impressive guitar solos that are rhythmically and lyrically heartfelt, while exuding a sense of isolation that defies his age. Two of the songs on the album were co-written with Droney, “Alive” with Ben Burnley of Breaking Benjamin and “Everything” alongside 3 Doors Down guitarist Chris Henderson during a trip to Nashville.
Droney first came to national attention in 2006 after winning the Robert Johnson Star Award as one of the country’s most promising young musicians, but in actuality he has been turning heads since picking up the guitar at the age of 7.
Critics have compared his talent to one that fuses elements of Stevie Raye Vaughan, Robert Johnson and John Mayer while adding his own original style. Patrick posses a textural smoothness and warm fluidity that connotes a visceral connection between his fingers and the fret board, belying his age. His songwriting and guitar style have allowed him the opportunity to play to a variety of audiences and cross generational lines- he has shared the stage and performed with Mitch Mitchell (drums) and Billy Cox (bass), the same Jimi Hendrix Experience rhythm section that played behind Hendrix at Woodstock as part of the Jimi Hendrix Experience Tour in 2007, then headlined 20 Summer Camp tour dates with screaming 8-18 year olds in 2008.
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, and most recently (September 2008) in front of thousands at the Big Spring Jam (AL) and The York Festival (PA). 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 great James Brown.
