Rich Zielin

"be, in harmony"

A guitarist and vocalist, Rich grew up hanging out in the basements of Chicago listening
to local bands, and has always been passionate about a great performance of
hard-driving rock. Working at Wrigleyville's legendary music venue Metro/Smart Bar,
he got turned on to thousands of live acts with as much in common as they were unique.
Great bands, great sound, intimate setting; he draws from all of those experiences when
he hits the stage with his '84 Stratocaster.

He currently fronts his own power-trio Zielin, and is the lead vocalist for Austin-based
Robin Trower tribute, Bridge of Sighs.  His previous bands include San Antonio's Amplifyd,
and Austin's Grissomhill.  Influenced by all styles of music, some of the guitarists he admires the most include Tom Morello, Billy Corgan, Robin Trower, and David Gilmour.  Some of his favorite vocalists are Elvis Presley, James Dewar, and Eddie Vedder.
