Originally a product of the 1980s Lone Star Café music scene in NYC, Attila sings, writes and plays what he calls “true, pure, Bakersfield/California-Country!” Now a longtime Northern California resident, he has put together a cast of California A-List veteran musicians to play the songs Attila writes about his life, his travels and travails, as well as songs from his heroes, like Merle Haggard, his friends and his musical progeny. Look for his upcoming CD in 2020, “Kern County Blues”.
