#64 - Lenny Zenith
from Neworleansmusicians.com Podcast · host Neworleansmusicians.com
Lenny Zenith has been many things throughout the course of his life; a student at New Orleans Center for Creative Arts (NOCCA), a label executive, a vocalist, a pianist, and a guitarist. Discouragement from guidance councilors and classmates, falling short of secondary educational standards, and existing in a close-minded, homogeneous world coerced Lenny, first, toward punk music and the anti ethos and, secondly, into mercurial genre perspectives. In the beginning, there was RZA, enabling Lenny to open for Iggy Pop, and bands like XTC, Ian Hunter, U2, The Gun Club, Marshal Crenshaw and more. He would go onto form and play in other bands like Jenifer Convertible, Tenterhooks, Minor Planets, and Pop Comb. He's been in New York since '91, but he's coming home soon to stay. He will be performing at Tipitina's April 5th! https://lennyzenith.bandcamp.com/ Elevate your health and well-being. Shop Realmushrooms.com and support this show!
