Alan Zreczny’s songs are narrative poems set to spirited melodies, which he performs on the guitar and piano, solo and with his band bluefront. Aftershocks is bluefront’s second release, a journey into the reverberation of emotional aftershocks in shimmering melodies and instrumentation.

The title track, Aftershocks, was written after watching a news report about an earthquake.  “They were talking about the aftershocks, and it started a process of thinking about the correlation to emotional aftershocks.  It could be a flash of a memory or another kind of reminder, and then the whole thing would sort of hit again”.  As for the other songs on the album, “they were chosen because they just seemed to fit in and pick up on that theme”.

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.
