Elysian Stew

Elysian Stew is the instrumental guitar project of Patrick Zyduck. He released his debut album last month, consisting of ten tracks that bring a Western twang feel. It’s a calming and introspective listen, flowing from one dynamic melody to another like a long car ride that traverses many different landscapes. Elysian Stew takes us on a stroll through the dry heat countryside with “Driving Thru the Desert to Burn a Million Dollars.” - Ben Slowy
