About Zen Beer

This profile was given nifty colours using: MySpaceTweaks Editor Ver.1

29-year-old Adam Tanner has played bass with more bands than he can remember throughout the past 15-odd years in which he always wanted to record a solo bass album, but annoying things like final exams, work and sleep always got in the way. The Zen Beer project finally came to life in 2003 and has since released two albums - "The Cosmic Trigger EP" (2004) and "Grand Unified Chaos" (2005). A third is currently in the works and should be available by fall 2008.

Copies of the albums can be purchased through Adam, who has several large boxes of CD's taking up valuable space in his home, or through the ItsAboutMusic site (www.itsaboutmusic.com), OR at many different digital outlets on an Internet near you.

Listings on this page for upcoming Zen Beer shows can be found on this page or at www.zenbeerbass.com.

Adam is also available for studio work and instruction on bass guitar in the Ottawa area, please contact if interested.

The TTH Label	Apr 19 2008 4:56 AM Hi there Zen Beer/Adam Tanner first of all we'd like to say thanks for being our myspace pal. We wanted to make sure you knew the reason incase we suddenly vanish off of your friends list. The movement we've started for indie artists has grown significantly and consumes all of our time these days. We seldom sign into our myspace account and this is making several people believe that we are ignoring them. We are not ignoring anyone, we wanted everyone to know that. What we're doing has become so busy we just don't have the time for myspace any longer, so in all honesty we are probably going to just close our myspace account. Many people wanted to use us in the future so if you were one of those people make sure you bookmark www.tthlabel.com so that in the even that we do close our myspace account you will not lose contact with us. Thanks again for being our myspace pal!
