Band:

Zen Rock And Roll

BiografieThough raised near the blues scene in Memphis, Tennessee, Jonathan Saunders grew to enjoy the music of the post-British invasion and of the European romantic composers over the local jazz and blues-based styles. He began writing music at age four and began studying piano at age ten, mostly dabbling around with notes and instruments until becoming serious about song writing and music composition by age fifteen.



Since childhood, he has studied music at universities in the United States and Germany, composed music for orchestral instruments, choirs, electronic instruments, and rock bands, and has played and sung in several rock bands. During college, he formed No Drag Revelation, a cover band which focused on classic progressive rock pieces such as Close to the Edge and Supper´s Ready before breaking up after failing to gain momentum as an original band.



After No Drag, he found his way into a keyboardist role as the other half of John Paul Jones for Dazed and Confuzed, a five member Led Zeppelin tribute band that rock-and-rolled its way across the southeastern US during the late 1990´s.



And since Dazed and Confuzed, Jonathan has concentrated on his initial passion, music composition, while enduring the evils of making a living. He played keyboards in 2001 on the independent release Words and Music by Rob Higginbotham, another former No Drag Revelation member. And recently, he has recorded End of the Age, his first release under the stage name Zen Rock and Roll.
