awww geeezz...i just fiddle around. But thank you! (blushing) - Patrick Contreras

Patrick Contreras and the American Gypsy Experience are by far one of the top Fresno bands, if not the best. Patrick brings together incredible musicians (too many to name) and dancers to create an electrifying musical adventure in a wide range of music genres. This group brings out the best in each musician, so as a group they are profound. Guest artists are always incredible too. Always first class. Patrick and his electric violin are currently touring in Europe and on the way to super stardom. We are so fortunate to have this group in Fresno. Thrilling music and performances. People new to the performances generally state " I didn't know a violin could sound like that!" Check out: http://myspace.com/patrickcontreras for a sample of the music, comments, bio, and much more.

Can anyone out there recommend to me the top ten local bands or the top three local bookers for bands. I want to get a feel for the Fresno music scene.
