Zoo Front Notes - 2025
Zoo Front is a sonically eclectic original band always striving to evolve their sound. Each member brings their own divergent influences to the group, wheregenres are meshed and massaged to form a cohesive body of work. For unknown reasons, the desert southwest seeped into Zoo Front’s consciousness last year, culminating in the release of “Desert Child” EP. No matter which album or EP you listen to, you are guaranteed a sonic ride through a variety of musical styles and moods. Anyone who has witnessed a Zoo Front gig has been along for that ride, taking in a mix of new and old, soft and sultry, moody and energetic songs. Wait until you hear what’s next!
Zoo Front is Ed Ekendu, Ju Dee Luna, Nancy Tatsapaugh, and Lisa Tonner.
You can find Zoo Front on Bandcamp, SoundCloud, iTunes, Spotify, Amazon Music, You Tube Music, Apple Music and other streaming services.
