Have you ever wanted to just pack up and hit the road for a spell? Invite a few friends, load up the car, and see where the open road takes you?
I’m thrilled to announce that ZAHA will be touring the eastern US along the 1-95 Corridor this spring from May 23-27. As this will be our first tour beyond the greater NYC area, I’m very excited. I’m also reaching out to invite you to support me and the top-notch musicians in my group as we prepare to hit the road.
We have launched a 30-day kickstarter project to raise funds for travel costs — visit the following link to watch a video about the tour and how you can support us:

You can participate in several ways:
1) Make a donation, support independent music, and receive one of the tasty awards we’re giving away as a thank you to our sponsors
2) Share the link to this kickstarter page with extravagant abandon and help us spread the word!

Thanks for participating, and I look forward to sharing our stories from the road! ~Evan, Artistic Director
Before gearing up for a post-Labor Day shot-in-the-arm, you’re cordially invited to savor the last few strains of summer by coming out to hear ZAHA next Wednesday in Brooklyn. We’ll be playing at the Brooklyn Lyceum, a lovingly renovated theater/cafe that was a bathhouse/gym/warehouse in previous incarnations. In addition to some unfiltered Soundpainting, we’ll be performing the world premiere of an excerpt from Trigger’s Broom, an original composition created with the support of the Con Ed Musicians’ Residency: Composition Program.
