HALF ZEN:
"In Half Zen, the Talking Heads vibe lives on." Jared Johnson former music critic Altanta Journal-Constitution
Clever songs for outrageous dreamers
Born from a shared vision of musical passion, Half Zen blends the iconic sounds of '80s alternative and classic pop with the untamed energy of punk, crafting a unique sonic landscape that’s both nostalgic and new. Their original tunes and reimagined covers evoke the spirit of bands like Talking Heads and Elvis Costello, while adding an energetic edge.
With two full length album releases Wesoterica and Words Last, Half Zen’s strong melodies with intense and introspective lyrics are for the people who refuse to live a quiet, conventional life. Half Zen provides the intellectual spark and sonic energy to help you dream louder, rising above the noise of doubt. These albums aren’t just collections of songs - they aim to be anthems of a journey, filled with the struggles, triumphs, and shared experiences of chasing a dream.
At the heart of Half Zen is singer-songwriter "Gresch" Greschler, a former administrative judge whose understanding of the human condition infuses his lyrics with insight and authenticity. Gresch’s musical journey began in 2013, and by 2018, his pursuit of self-expression through song culminated in the creation of Half Zen.
Joining Gresh is the remarkable Justin Long, a multi-talented guitarist/ producer in the Denver scene, bass player Shayne Sivley bringing intuitively inspired originality, and Chilean born drummer Ivan Cornejo driving innovation solidly in beat.
