Comprised of Blaine LaChance on rhythm guitar and vocals, Iain White on lead guitar and vocals, Big Matty Pendris on bass and harmonica and Matt Dulude on drums and percussion, Amozen blends personal lyrics with an impassioned reverence for multiple genres of music, including alternative, reggae, jazz, pop and blues, along with a taste of improv that grows stronger every time they occupy the stage. Built on love and appreciation for music bred long before they met, the band formed under the philosophy "Love the sound you've found."
Amozen has completed their first full-length album entitled A MOment of ZEN, with nine tracks spinning tales of love (for better or worse), political upheaval and social consciousness, with the intent of breaking out of the mundane. The band is extremely excited about the release, and is honored to be officially releasing the album at Higher Ground on July 18th in their first headlining show at the legendary venue. The show will feature two great accompanying acts, Coventry Rhode of Newport, VT and Among Criminals of Philadelphia, PA.
Be sure to come and experience for yourself what Amozen has dubbed "Alternative Re-Jam".
