Welcome to JZ Music!  I'm John Zimmerman, and music is my passion.  In addition to performing live (as a member of K&J and Harpo and the Mojo Hands),  I write original music.  This website is dedicated to showcasing my originals.  It also details my musical history. 

​

I picked up a guitar in my senior year of high school and never put it down!  In the 1960's I was a member of The Heard, a very successful rock band out of Sacramento. During the years of working and raising a family, I did casual engagements with a number of bands. Retirement in 2003 gave me the time to perfect my music.

​

Over the many decades of my life I have written original music, some of which reflects my emotional state at the time.  Music is the language of emotion.  My music reflects my journey down the road of life!
