Bio
Johnny Zarrow, hard to classify, yet, so easy to listen to.
Johnny Zarrow's core is a trio of diverse songwriting talents who craft a high dose of originality and groove.
They have taken their influences from rock, soul and Americana developing their a unique sound. Through the 10 tracks on their debut CD, Tunnel-Vision, they venture into various permutations of a rock/soul gumbo that is sure to please your musical palate. The CD opens with the foot tapping "Blind Spot", an up-tempo rocker, and closes with the funky "Pick It Up". In between they add various spices of funk and rock and leave you feeling full and satisfied.
Their live shows are infused with covers by The Band, Neil Young, Marvin Gaye, Aretha Franklin, George Harrison, Bob Dylan, The Temptation and the Beatles. A tasty musical stew to say the least.
Deborah Morgenstern is a multi-talented singer, songwriter and musician.
She
has been performing in Community Theater, small jazz ensembles that

Gospel groups. She has appeared at NYC's Bitter End, Long Island

Frank Armone, following a nine year stint with the NYC-based Henley Almond Band, he relocated
to Long Island when the group moved to Oregon. He was then recruited by
the wildly popular Cajun group, The Smokin' Skillets. From there he
started Johnny Zarow. Frank's influences from Kenny Burrell to Roy
Buchanan, help lend a unique flavor to an already unique and eclectic
band.
