Electronic Press Kit

Jam-packed with Zreczny’s engrossing and often unconventional tunes, Aftershocks showcases his talent for breathy vocals that belie the seriousness of his subject matter and a warbling intimacy that draws comparisons to Elliot Smith or Neutral Milk Hotel.

bluefront is led by singer songwriter Alan Zreczny.

 

Over the years Zreczny has created an imaginative and truly original body of work with lyrics that often put a new twist on age-old sayings giving them a fresh, surprising new meaning.  

A Chicago native, Zreczny first picked up a guitar at the age of ten, growing up in a house always filled with music and music lessons.  

 

His love for music and writing remained under the surface while he went to college, law school and graduate school. He went to work at a large corporation, traveling the world and later moved on to a law firm…but the thoughts about creating music were ever present.  “I always thought of being a musician and writing songs as the most fulfilling modes of self-expression”.

 

And then, a terrible break-up happened, and a door opened.  A former girlfriend had given him a notebook to write in and Zreczny found himself “filling it up with things, much of which had to do with that relationship”. 

 

Having quietly written a few songs, Zreczny started to test drive playing out at open mic nights and from there, there was no turning back. 

 

 

Zreczny started playing out more and soon thereafter recorded his first record, The Arbor Sessions.  

 

Zreczny began landing more gigs and eventually filled out the first iteration of the band.  bluefront headed to the studio and recorded Aftershocks, a journey into the reverberation of emotional aftershocks in shimmering melodies and instrumentation. 

 

Since the release of Aftershocks to critical acclaim, the lineup has changed welcoming Keith Heric on bass and Scott Paeth on drums. 

​​

bluefront is looking forward to a busy 2026 and 

a return to the studio to record their third album.

Alan Zreczny is a force to be reckoned with, draping innovative chords and strumming with narrative poems that can swell from breathy intimacy to epic grandeur.
