It also looks like we have been picked up by a radio chain with over 2 million listeners and 103 affiliates!!! This is pretty amazing for a totally independent Blues project! We are extremely proud and happy that the new CD is being so well received!! Radio stations playing our CD: http://www.zenbluesmusic.com/radio.html I am not great at the self promotion thing, but this project is sort of starting to take off. Very smart people who are helping us have told me that one important thing we need is reviews on Itunes and Amazon. If you have heard us, or bought the CD, or want to support a great project, would you mind taking just a few moments to post a quick review on Amazon and Itunes?

Press release: Zen Blues Quartet©, and Shunyata Records, is proud to announce the release of the Band’s 2nd CD, “Again and yet again”!! Following up the well received debut Album “Zen Blues Quartet”, this CD moves to another level altogether as a powerful and unique voice in Modern Blues Music! ZBQ is:
Zen Blues Quartet is comprised of some of the best session musicians, who have worked as sidemen for the some greatest Blues, Soul and R&B artists in the world. (Please see credits list below). Zen Blues was originally formed as an opportunity to play Blues the way the musicians wanted to, without being beholden to a Label or branded Artist. The first CD was done as an experiment in Art for the sake of good Art, and it did exceedingly well. The new CD is a tour de force exploration of Modern Blues. Like nothing you have heard before!! Veteran sideman and B3 virtuoso Mike Finnigan has joined the band as the new Keyboard player and Vocalist extraordinaire!! Plus we have the LA Horns featuring: Bill Churchville on Trumpet,
This is an explosive and amazing CD of Modern Blues and Soul music, with unbelievable vocal performances by Mike Finnigan and Tim Scott, great funky grooves and burning Guitar!!
