Pat Karwan Band

Cajun Flavored Jersey Blues

Quite possibly one of the world's greatest unknown singer/songwriter/finger style guitarists and the Northeasts best kept secret. Pat Karwan's style is somewhter between Lenny Breau and Chet Atkins with the ghost of Robert Johnson sitting on his shoulder. His musical gumbo is a tasty mix of Jazz, Blues and Country with a dash of new Orleans and a pinch of Cajun.
