Neil Zaza

A Northeast Ohio native who’s played alongside guitar heroes such as as Joe Satriani, Steve Vai, Yngwie Malmsteen and Nuno Bettencourt, guitarist Neil Zaza has collaborated in the studio with the likes of Van Halen’s Michael Anthony, Dream Theater’s Jordan Rudess, Steve Smith and Peter Frampton. Much like Trans-Siberian Orchestra, Zaza draws from both classical and rock for his annual One Silent Night concerts. Tonight’s show supports his latest album, 2015's Peach, an intricate instrumental release that shows off his tremendous chops and includes a couple of tracks he cut live at the Kent Stage. (Niesel)
