We make Rock 'n' Roll for people that need it
Zenora is a four-piece original rock band from the Southern NJ/Philadelphia region. 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. 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. Zenora is also known for their high energy live stage show, engaging their audience with their octane infused rock music, pyrotechnics, and in your face performances.
Zenora has shared the stage with several national acts, including: Quiet Riot, anvil, autograph, stephen adler (formerly of guns n roses), killer Dwarfs, dirty looks, ted poley, tokyo motor fist, pretty boy floyd, kickin' valentina, roxy blue, wildstreet, The MIdnight Devils and others. in early 2023, Zenora will be performing at the Whiskey a go go in hollywood, Ca, and opening for Enuff z'nuff and Ted poley in nj. Some Venues that Zenora has performed at include: The Landis Theater (Vineland, NJ), 2300 Arena (Philadlephia, PA), The Bitter End (NYC), The Trocodero (Philadelphia, PA), The Queen (Wilmington, De), Cancun Cantina (Hanover, MD).
In addition to developing a potent live show, the band’s focus has been on writing good-time, heavy hitting, fun and energetic music all while keeping the spirit of rock and roll alive. Zenora has released three records over the span of 2 years, most recently releasing the full-length album "Warchild" in November 2022. The album release party for warchild, attended by over 200 fans, was held at kaycee rays at the landis theater in vineland, nj and was hosted by don jamieson from VH1 classic's That metal show.
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.
