Billy Zenn
performing songwriter
Somewhere in the Midwest an old transistor crackles to life; Aretha testifying to Mr. Charles, Orbison soaring darkly as Dylan rolls on down Highway 61.  Out in the garage, muttered curses at a tempermental Fairlane mix with Cash, Perkins and that high, lonesome Stanley wail.  It is the big beat, the lover's lament and the tears of a clown.

Billy Zenn grew up there and the music stayed with him.  Through a haze of beer lights and smoke, bands and bars, miles and years the music has remained; wild, free and inviolate.  Call it the blues, call it country, call it soul or plain old rock and roll, it always comes down to the same thing:  American music.

Billy Zenn is American music.  With a voice as strong as his experience is deep and songs that resonate across time and place, Billy Zenn is a performer who means exactly what he says and delivers it everytime.  Steadfastly clinging to his roots in the rich dark soul of America, Billy kicks the tried and true into a new century and brings it all back home again, fresh and new.

Solo or with his killer band, Billy Zenn & The Ringers, the effect is always the same; an infectious, foot-stompin', true heart rave up that's guaranteed to shake you to your feet.  If you're looking for the real deal, look no further.
