About the Band

The Pszenny Project, hailing from the Midlands of South Carolina, delivers an electrifying blend of Roots Rock, Blues Rock, and Funk—a powerful mix of soulful originals and crowd-favorite classics. Their sound is gritty, energetic, and steeped in deep blues tradition, channeling the swagger of Skynyrd, ZZ Top, and Stevie Ray Vaughan with a modern edge.

Fronted by Mark Pszenny, whose raspy, soulful vocals and Hendrix-inspired guitar tone define the band’s sound, The Pszenny Project is completed by Raz (bass) and Dalton Reynolds (drums).

With their distinctive style and high-energy live performances, The Pszenny Project has quickly built a reputation as one of the most exciting rising acts in the modern blues-rock scene.

Latest Release "Smokey Bourbon" is a masterful mix of original tracks and remastered fan favorites, “Smokey Bourbon” captures the raw power and soul of a band hitting its stride. The album takes listeners on a blues-rock road trip from Chicago to Memphis, Detroit, and Texas, with 12 songs steeped in grit, groove, and Southern spirit. “Smokey Bourbon” (2024) reached #24 on Roots Music Report’s Top 200 Blues-Rock Albums (and held at #51 in 2025).
