Zander Schloss

Zander Schloss is a trailblazing artist and musicians musician. In the thirty five year span of his professional career he has worked as a songwriter, multi instrumentalist, bandleader and touring sideman with Joe Strummer, The Circle Jerks, Weirdos, Thelonious Monster, Low & Sweet Orchestra and Sean & Zander to name a few. His contributions as a music industry insider can be seen in documentaries and read about in the front and back pages of rock biographies. Zander has also composed music for many critically acclaimed films such as Walker and Sid & Nancy, and is a recognizable character actor in the cult classics Repo Man and Straight To Hell. His creative choices are interesting and eclectic, having spanned many genres, but with one common denominator. Integrity.

Never has Zander’s reverence for music been more apparent than in his current solo work. With all of his experience, wisdom and technical prowess, Schloss has crafted songs with the restraint, skill and attention to detail of a master carpenter. His 12 string guitar is finger picked with the muscularity of a Delta Bluesman shipwrecked in the Scottish Highlands. Schloss’s command of the Greek Bouzouki is as exotic as it is mythical. On his long awaited solo debut album, ,“Song About Songs”, He sings with the husky vulnerability of a weary crusader who has lived the hero’s journey, survived and come home with great stories to tell--and we believe him.
