Comprised of Christopher Watkins (Preacher Boy), Etienne David Franc (Papiba & Friends / SambaDa) and drummer extraordinaire Zack Kirk Olsen (Slow Gherkin). These guys are doing something totally unique that has never seen before - and all original. Coast Road Records had this to say about their music - “The Alternative Zen Blues Trial is an improvisational power trio with a DNA string equal parts Band of Gypsys, R.L Burnside, and Johnny Winter. The band cooks down its telegraphic drum-bass-guitar musicality with rough-hewn vocals and a street-zen lyrical style to extract their signature brand of blackstrap funk.”
