Steve Polezonis, Blues Musician:

Blending original blues with songs from the great American blues and jazz catalog, Steve Polezonis entertains a crowd with professionalism and taste.

Steve's influences are varied...the "masters", such as Muddy Waters, Howlin' Wolf, Little Walter, Sonny Boy Williamson, Freddie King, Albert King and BB King, Louis Jordan, Louis Armstrong, Charlie Parker and Miles Davis; as well as the "pupils" such as Eric Clapton, Stevie Ray and Jimmy Vaughan, Robben Ford, Robert Cray and Debbie Davies. He studied guitar with Dino Lappas and Gary Fortier and vocals, harp and guitar as well as blues musicology with Ed Vadas. Along with his "Blues Brother" Les Cooke, he has played in various blues bands in the Springfield, MA and Hartford, CT areas since the early '90s, including the Blusicians, Mudcats, Pythons and Free Chicken & Beer (voted "Best Blues Band" in the Valley Advocate poll in 2000).

He's opened for Johnny Hey & The Bluefish and Debbie Davies and for the 2003 Berlin Blues Festival which was headlined by The Nighthawks and Jeff Pitchell. He has played the Terryville Fair as both a supporting and headline act. He's blessed to have played with bassist Rich Neville and has jammed with Paul Cotton, Mark Nomad, Bonnie Bramlet and James Montgomery just to name a few. Currently Steve is fronting the Steve Polezonis Trio.

A regular at the famous Tic-Toc Blues Jam he recorded his first album there in 2002 -- "Steve Polezonis & Friends Live at the Tic-Toc" captures the feeling of their Thursday night open jams and Saturday night "Free Chicken & Beer" invitation jams. A second album, "Live @ The Berlin Blues Festival" is a raw testament to the band in action.

Come and see why Steve and his Friends won the Valley Advocate's Poll for best Blues Band...ask your favorite venue to book Steve Polezonis...and be prepared to have a ball!

Steve is a member of the Connecticut Blues Society.

Quotes...

"Steve Polezonis & Friends-Live At The Tic Toc. Great CD with robust vocals and splendid guitar licks. He was the opening act at the Berlin Blues Festival. Give it a listen."
- Gary

"I have to agree with you on both counts. For a local blues rocker, Polezonis & Friends really know how to get a crowd kicked into high gear! I really enjoyed the CD."
- Jerry
