Pat’s recording of Zevon’s Don’t Let Us Get Sick became an international classic when it was featured in Showtime’s award-winning series, CALIFORNICATION.
To honor and celebrate the music of Warren Zevon, Guadagno has assembled an All-Star cast that includes Rock & Roll Hall-of-Famer Vini Lopez, Award winning singer-songwriter-activist Arlan Feiles and RCA recording artist Jake Thistle.
Anyone who has been to one of Guadagno’s musical celebrations, BobFest (Bob Dylan), A Marvelous Night (Van Morrison), or Heart of Saturday Night (Tom Waits) Souvenirs (John Prine), Leonard Cohen (Hallelujah) knows to expect a passionate, reverent delivery of the music of Warren Zevon, Mr. Bad Example.
