SoundClick artist: ZEYEN - *Christian *Country *Rock - Dodge City in Western Kansas. http://www.myspace.com/zeyenmusic http

30+ years of playing bass and backup vocals for various Kansas rock and country bands. Have opened for a so many Nashville stars, I forget some. Have had friends around me make it to the A list , but it wasn't in the cards for me. Playing and writing Christian and Country music that I enjoy and hope others enjoy it also.

Why this name?

Birth name pronounced Zion.

Do you play live?

I play Churches, Coffee Houses and Local Organizations in and around Dodge City and Western Kansas. Not too far from Dodge City? and would like me to come and play, please send me an email.

How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?

It gives the little guy a shot at being heard.

Would you sign a record contract with a major label?

Would have to read it first :)

Band History:

I am an +average bass player just learning lead guitar. I don't have a voice that reaches out and grabs you by the collar, but my harmonies get me by. Maybe someone will hear something they want to record, not sure why I am so driven. My drummer is the most consistant part in the band. Of course that is a drum machine :) I play everything else.

Your influences?

My Dad was a player and could find the harmony in any song. I miss him dearly. I started out in the hair metal days but by the 90's I was playing country to pay the bills.

Favorite spot?
