Zion I began performing at the local bar Beach. The guitarist was encouraged to play by his middle school teacher. The guitarist was heavily influenced by his grandmother's love for music. Zion I’s members were friends in college. The band was influenced by Aretha Franklin.

Zion I’s single climbed the charts quickly, giving them national exposure. The group plays plenty of arenas, but would rather play in the smaller clubs in which they began. The years of paying their dues paid off when Zion I signed a record deal. The band group played festivals, parties, bars, really just about anywhere that would take them.

Zion I accepted they had finally made it as soon as Jessica Richardson started a fan club for the band in 2000. The fan club received a huge boost after Patricia Bierlein designed a website for the group. That coupled with the tour from California to New York saw the fan club’s official membership reach numbers in the thousands.

The most current project from Zion I has been heavily influenced by bands of the 1970s. The group is in the midst of the promotional tour for their new project. After this last busy year the members of Zion I will take a break to work on other projects.

Critics have generally praised Zion I for their ability to energize the crowd during concerts. San Francisco music critic Henry Jenson has always been pleased with band’s incredible rhythms. Zion I’s new record is receiving excellent reviews from notable music critics like Marcus Storjohann and Malcom Zadra.

The group has a love affair with Seattle so they are sure to stop by and play a show whenever they are touring. TheSeats.com’s extensive website has everything from concert seating charts to tour schedules, making TheSeats.com the single best one-stop shop for Zion I tickets.
