Bio

For more info and videos go to ztbmusic.com. Zorba The Buddha is a unique band indeed. Brian, the keyboard player, is not only a prolific songwriter but a sound engineer as well. Brian’s love for early reggae and the recording equipment and methods that shaped its’ sound led him to form Zorba The Buddha. His vision was a Reggae band that incorporated vintage equipment and effects processors to re-create the sound of the early Reggae and Dub Reggae recordings from the late 60’s and early 70’s. Long time friend and vocalist, Mike Barnes, had collaborated with Brian in the past and was enthusiastic helping start the band. The rest of the band members were recruited, and the results were quite pleasing! Kris and Reggie were already accomplished and working musicians, however, they liked the sound of the band so much that they didn’t mind adding to their already busy schedule. Keith, the drummer, was already experienced in Reggae drumming , and fit in perfectly. Since the band formed we have had weekly practices, written many original songs, and played many venues. Zorba’s sound always maintains a Reggae base, but may incoprporate influences of jazz, blues, Hip-Hop, jam, world, etc.
Not even one year old at this time, Zorba The Buddha has already opened for major touring acts, played at the 19th annual Third World Reggae Festival, and been invited to play at many venues that would normally never even consider booking a Reggae band! They have even packed venues that booked them at the last minute, not more than a few hours notice.
Zorba The Buddha will continue to grow and explore known and unknown musical space. Their unique, positive sound will continue to make them stand out like the sun, and their fan base will always include a wide range of people from all walks of life.
