John Zito Band

BAND: John Zito
STYLE: Blues, Rock, Soul
INFLUENCES: Jimi Hendrix, Son House, Johnny Winter, Steve Earle, Sex Pistols
BACKGROUND: John Zito consists of John Zito on lead guitar and vocals. Zito's slide and dobro guitars give the band its unique sound, with the virtuosity of Jimi Hendrix, the soul of Johnny Winter and the raw energy of the Sex Pistols. This killer combination seals the solid backbone of the trio, and gives them a gritty southern edge. Throw these rock and blues sounds in a blender, and you get John Zito.
The band has played locally and internationally, and has hosted local Blues and Rock nights. The trio has performed several times at the House of Blues Acoustic Strip hosted by Michael Soli. You can expect over 100 hardcore fans at their shows. They recently recorded a promotional cd at the Tone Factory in Las Vegas, produced by Vinnie Castaldo, which is now available at both Zia Record locations in Las Vegas, Nevada. The cd has been featured on Laurie Steele's Homegrown Show on Komp Radio. Their song "Rain" has also been featured in the 9/11 documentary "Ride on Brother".
