About

Zen Strings is a music collective from Pittsburgh lead by Micah Nagel (guitar/vocals). We specialize in acoustic based music for any event or location. Zen Strings is available for solo, duo, trio and full band performances. We focus on classic pop/rock material from all eras (The Beatles, Van Morrison, CCR, Tom Petty, The Rolling Stones and music from the 90's).

Additional booking notes

Access to an electrical outlet is required for anything more than a solo performance. A solo performance can be provided without electricity with advanced notice but can only last for 2 hours (unless it is agreeable to have a completely acoustic performance).
