BAND: John Zito & Electric Church
STYLE: Blues, Rock, Soul
INFLUENCES: Jimi Hendrix, Son House, Johnny Winter, Steve Earle, Sex Pistols
BACKGROUND: John Zito and Electric Church consists of John Zito on lead guitar and vocals, Chris Trusty on bass and harmonica, and Taylor Kelley on drums. In the spring of 2008, Zito reunited with Taylor Kelley, an accomplished drummer from Los Angeles, California. The two previously played together in a touring band called Road Kill Cafe. Zito's slide and dobro guitars give the band its unique sound, with the virtuosity of Jimi Hendrix, the soul of Johnny Winter and the raw energy of the Sex Pistols. Kelley's ferocious drumming brings a hard edge to the band. Trusty, the Kentucky born bass player, has the knack of bringing in the sweet sounds of the "harp". This killer combination seals the solid backbone of the trio, and gives them a gritty southern edge. Throw these rock and blues sounds in a blender, and you get John Zito and Electric Church.
The band has played locally and internationally, and has hosted local Blues and Rock nights. The trio has performed several times at the House of Blues Acoustic Strip hosted by Michael Soli. You can expect over 100 hardcore fans at their shows. They recently recorded a promotional cd at the Tone Factory in Las Vegas, produced by Vinnie Castaldo, which is now available at both Zia Record locations in Las Vegas, Nevada. The cd has been featured on Laurie Steele's Homegrown Show on Komp Radio. Their song "Rain" has also been featured in the 9/11 documentary "Ride on Brother".

Sally Steele, owner and publisher of Vegas Rocks Magazine, states that "I do want to mention the outstanding effort of JOHN ZITO and ELECTRIC CHURCH'S new CD. It is PHENOMENAL! It is very unique and professional, and it is my favorite local band's CD right now for being so different... (with) such a unique sound." Joe Brown, of the Las Vegas Sun, refers to Zito as "A Las Vegas blues and rock hero". John Zito and Electric Church are also featured in a 3 page article in Guitar Club Magazine from Milan, Italy written by Maurizio DePaola, www.GuitarClubMagazine.net.
