About Me

Hey! I'm a guitarist based in Nashville, TN. I'm currently playing with Warner Brothers recording artist Jason Jones (check him out -he's in my top friends). I also play a lot in downtown Nashville with Todd Sansom. I spent most of 2006 on the road as a guitar tech with Carrie Underwood. I was also in Suzy Bogguss' band for about three years (1996 thru 1999) and I spent about four years playing with Jo Dee Messina (2000 thru 2003). I've also played with Katrina Elam, Amber Dotson, Wade Hayes, and Brian McComas.I'm originally from upstate NY and I've been in Nashville for about 12 years now. I've also got my own website (www.johnzocco.com) but I do most of my updates here. Thanks for stopping by!

My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 05/02/2006
Band Website: www.johnzocco.com
Band Members: Huh....huh....this says "members"....
Influences: Neal Schon, Matt Smith, Jeff Beck, George Lynch, Steve Vai, Scott Henderson, SRV, Jimmy Herring, Carl Verheyen, and a bunch of others that I can't think of right now.
Sounds Like:Intense, rose-like floral notes dominate the aroma, with lush honey, molasses and coffee fruit. The mouthfeel has honeyish depth, the acidity is sweetly powerful, the flavor dominated by tart berry notes both dryly austere yet utterly and voluptuously juicy, complicated by continued honey, molasses and flowers. Smooth, balanced, flower-saturated finish.
Type of Label: Major
