About Me
I'm a singer-songwriter and I love writing songs that talk about honesty, surrender and hope. I'm also the lead guitarist for CARNEY (Interscope) + Spiderman on Broadway and I'm about to join John Mayer as a guitarist for his Born and Raised Tour. I have a Discography page that can help to paint a fuller picture if you're curious about other things I've done as well...
I love writing and singing my own material and even though I haven't released my debut EP yet, I've been posting live performances of my original songs to YouTube - just head over to my Videos section to take a look/see ;-)
If you're more interested in hearing just my guitar playing then I don't want to know you (joke; with reference I can't remember at the moment...) Seriously though, my Music page has original instrumental pieces that were written and recorded before I knew I could (read: wanted to) sing and I'm so grateful to have such beautiful recordings to share with everyone :-) One day, I hope to release instrumental and vocal albums at a prolific clip...let me know what you think of my "jazz" tunes by writing me on Tumblr or Twitter!
As for non-music adventures, I've been known to do quite a bit of acting…I'll spare you any links to my child acting days (darn you IMDB…) but, I've got a few really exciting things on the horizon and one that's already been spread to the masses in Big City. I get to play one of the lead characters in this cute Webseries and I also wrote the theme and scored the music for it - check it out here
I'm also so grateful to give music theory and guitar masterclasses at Universities and Conservatories from time to time. I especially enjoy being the guy dressed like a mash up between a Western War Hero, Transylvanian Pub Owner and Amish Farm Handler who's talking to students about secondary dominance, harmonic analysis and how much we actually do use classical/jazz theory in the "pop" world…
Thanks for stopping by and I'd love to have you on my e-mail list so I can see you at a show in your area one of these days soon!

Sets
- 5 tracks (26:30)These original songs were recorded live, straight to tape and my good friend Chris Rondinella's Studio (Heritage Recording Company - http://www.heritagerecordingco.com) I'm hoping to release these 5 songs along with 5 more on a purely instrumental album one of these days...all I know is that it's going to have to come after my real deal solo debut...<br><br>The songs feature Joe Ayoub on Upright Bass and Gavin Salmon on Drums, with a special guest appearance by Jon Epcar on Gambit and Diamonds

- Probably asked a million times but does Carney have a new album coming out any time soon?<p>I wish, but as of now, no mam/sir…</p> <p>Reeve is doing Spidey, Jeff Buckley (eventually) and his own music and I’m recording/touring with John Mayer and getting set to release my debut EP!</p> <p>Hopefully we’ll have a CARNEY reunion some day down the line, but for now it seems things are on hold on that front…that being said, Reeve has been playing some MEAN bass with me whenever I play live in NY and Mr. Jon Epcar (of CARNEY fame) has been on drums…</p>
- What are the 3 albums you would tell someone to listen to?? I stole that from a guy on John Mayer's live web chat thingy! :)<p>Wes Montgomery - Smokin’ at the Half Note</p> <p>Thicke - A Beautiful World</p> <p>Aerosmith - Nine Lives</p>
- Thinking of going to Summerfest on July 6th. What are the chances I could run into you and get my Carney CD signed?<p>If we see each other, 100% ;-)</p>

It is an old and ironic habit of human beings to run faster when we have lost our way.

Dang, ain’t that the truth…

- Zane's Music Mix Party on New Myspace
Ok, after a day or so of checking out what this whole “New Myspace” thing is about, I discovered that it’s kind of the perfect way for me to share my “eclectic” (read: odd) taste in music :-)
I think that most people who have heard me play guitar might think that I love listening to Rock and Roll and/or German Polka (last way is WAY more likely…) but I can’t remember the last time I played a mainstream Rock record for my own enjoyment, unless it was Silverchair or Aerosmith…in fact, 90% of the time I’m listening to either some form of Hot Jazz or Orchestral Music :-) Surprisingly, MySpace has WAY more of my weirdo collection than I thought and so I’m gonna be putting up a song a day on my page at:
Excited about jumping from way-too-intense 70’s jazz fusion to 17th Century Waltz’s and hoping you’ll be around to hear some really special pieces of music…
Too the future, and beyond
Zane
