ZEN

About Me

Uniquely different, ZEN creates a good mood with many grooves. You walk away from a show feeling better than when you arrived. As with any wondrous experience, ZEN music is in a constant state of reinterpretation, as the players reshape their songs and use them as springboards into extended improvisational jams featuring electric mandolin, harmonica, and electric lead guitar. Be ready for a smile and a “groove in your move” that will last long after the show is over!
