Zen Revnik

Oklahoma City Singer- Songwriter Zen Revnik (John Randolph in real life) merges pop, rock, folk, americana, and jazz. His lyrics honestly explore the depths of depression, but with optimistic self-revelation. He writes about the complexities of relationships, a desire for
acceptance, and a longing for clarity. Using percussive rhythms and jazz progressions with accessible pop sensibilities, Randolph delivers expressive, Appalachian-tinged vocals.

Zen Revnik John Randolph in RLRaised in the Mid-Ohio Valley, John Randolph was handed his father’s trumpet when he was only two years old and surprised his family with one perfect tone. “My parents were always very supportive of my music and made sure I had the tools to pursue it”, says Randolph. He grew up listening to his father’s Herb Alpert, Al Hurt, and Rafael Mendez records. In junior high school he discovered 1980’s contemporary jazz artists like Wynton Marsalis and Jeff Tyzik and the iconic Miles Davis, and Doc Severinson. He started writing songs and playing piano at sixteen, under the pop influence of Richard Marx, Phil Collins and Peter Gabriel.

In His early 20′s John picked up the guitar and listening to alternative bands like Toad the Wet Sprocket and Big Head Todd and The Monsters, and was inspired to form his first rock band, Mundane Rain. The group played predominately to the college crowd and the festival circuit.. more of John’s Bio on his website http://www.johnrandolph.com

“I feel that I have really only begun to scratch the surface of my songwriting abilities and feel I am always evolving as a musician. I love getting the opportunity to share my music and hope to inspire others the way I have been inspired.” ~John Randolph

moondoggirl
Moondoggirl Moomintoog (Jan Edwards in 1stlife) is originally from Minneapolis, Minnesota, she cut her teeth on folk, lost her innocence to rock, and came of age with country. Her writing today reflects different country styles from pop to soul. In 2006 she moved from “the land of 10 thousand lakes,” to Nashville, Tennessee, “the land of 10 thousand songwriters,” to focus on her writing.

When asked to describe her own music she’d tell you it will groove, bruise and move you…it’s a real mix of country twang with fangs! If you ask her who her influences are, you will be surprised to learn she has a love for nearly every imaginable genre of music, and they all come through in her writing. They range from Bonnie Raitt, Joni Mitchell, Carly Simon, Linda Ronstadt, Sheryl Crow, Waylon Jennings and The Outlaws, Emmylou Harris, Bobbie Gentry and Dusty Springfield, Elvis Costello, Jonatha Brooke, Lyle Lovett, The Beatles, Patsy Cline, Billie Holliday and all the old jazz standards, and she says, “now there are so many new country influences too numerous to mention…” more at http://www.myspace.com/janedwardsmusic
