PAT BOYACK

            

Pat Boyack (born June 26, 1967, Price, Utah, United States) is an American electric blues guitarist and songwriter. Boyack performs modern electric blues and blues rock. He has released four albums since 1994, for both the Bullseye Blues and Doc Blues record labels.

Boyack was born in Price, but grew up in Helper, Utah.At the age of fifteen he had his first guitar, and listened to a college friend's Stevie Ray Vaughan album. Inspired by contemporary Texas blues, Boyack moved to Dallas, Texas, in 1991, and played in a number of bar bands, including Rocket 88s. In 1993, Boyack formed the Prowlers with John Garza (bass) and Doug Swancy (drums). The Prowlers added Jimmy Morello (singer/harmonica) and secured a recording contract with Bullseye Blues Records (part of Rounder Records).

                

Pat Boyack & the Prowlers debut album Breakin' In (1994), was followed by On the Prowl (1996). By the time the third album, Super Blue & Funky, was released in 1997, a new backing band had been assembled, which took far less prominent billing. Boyack left the music industry for two years to support his wife and first child, then in 2000 Boyack's former label mate, Marcia Ball, recruited him to her backing band.

Following a change in record label, Boyack's fourth album, Voices from the Street was released in May 2004.

Al igual que muchos  guitarristas de su generación, sintieron especial predilección por Stevie Ray Vaughan , tambien Pat Boyack , muy aficionado al  blues adoraba a  Stevie Ray Vaughan . Nacido el 26 de junio de 1967 en Helper, Utah, los gustos de Boyack cuando era adolescente quizá se decantaba  más por el estilo de  de Van Halen y Kiss , pero pronto se vio tan capturado  por  el sonido contemporáneo del blues de Texas que eventualmente se mudó a Dallas con el fin de buscar un carrera musical propia. En 1993, se mudó al área de Phoenix, donde formó la banda de bar Rocket 88s con el vocalista / armonicista  Jimmy Morello ; Después de que el grupo se disolvió, Boyack regresó a Dallas, donde finalmente formó el grupo  de blues-rock The Prowlers con el bajista John Garza y el batería Doug Swancy . Después de publicar el album de su  debut en 1993, los Prowlers dieron la bienvenida a Morello a sus filas, y Breakin 'In lo siguió a fines de 1994. Después de On the Prowl de 1996, la banda se vino abajo y Boyack reunió un nuevo elenco de apoyo para su solo de 1997 debut, Super Blue y Funky .
