Zenora – Jaxon’s Local Shots Artist of the Month
In 2017, four young musicians from southern New Jersey came together to form Zenora. The bandmates have all known each other since their early teenage years as students at Rock University in Turnersville, NJ. Zenora connects in an explosive fusion of 70’s and 80’s hard rock attitude, with a heavy dose of mathematical precision, offering a refreshing antidote to the current state of the auto-tune nation.
In addition to developing a potent live show, the band’s focus has been on writing the good-time, heavy hitting, fun and energetic music all while keeping the spirit of rock and roll alive. Lefty co-lead guitarists Dylan Graff and Nick Shute soar over top of the solid rhythmic foundation of John Kelly-Keifer’s drums, and Dan Shute’s bass, a Fireglo Rickenbacker he is unafraid to use as a melodic riff machine, a little bit Cliff Burton, a little bit Geddy Lee.
Down and dirty primal influences – Motley Crue, Kiss, Van Halen, AC/DC, Guns n’ Roses – blended with prog rock underpinnings give Zenora a huge palette of musical colors to work with as they strive to create their perfect “elixr” life.
