Jason Zerbin Band is an Edmonton-based band carrying the name of it's chief songwriter and front-man. Ryan Wegner, Jon Greig, Jeremy Dehek, and Peter Mol fill out the band forming layers of rich melody and moving rhythm.
Zerbin’s music hints of indie rock, thick with melody and an almost symphonic layering of instruments. There are pop choruses that will stick in your head long after the song is over, yet lyrically and musically there are moments of deep emotion and spirituality.
It is the bands brilliant blend of expansive soundscapes combined with Zerbin’s soaring vocals, that paint an otherworldly tapestry that is truly unforgettable. The bands debut record “Of Fools And Gold” is consistently marked by this musical fusion, as well as lyrics that are both unapologetically poetic, yet accessible.
In live performance the band draws audiences in, offering not just an exceptional performance, but a true musical and spiritual experience. Zerbin is quickly proving to be a class act with music that is as at home in stadiums, as in your iPods or favourite Hollywood film.
However there is only so much that can be written about music. And so, instead of boring you with hyperbole or cleverly written prose, you should just listen to it. Were pretty sure you will like it and just maybe it will sneak past your ears and into your heart.
