About

Introducing Garden of Hedon, Boston's vintage-style rock 'n' rollers, who emerged in June 2021. The band, born from singer-songwriter Matt Zajac's 2020 solo record of the same name, has rapidly garnered a passionate following by delivering high-energy sets of authentic and diverse rock 'n' roll music across the Greater Northeast. Regarded as a "must-see" live act, they draw stylistic comparisons to early Alice Cooper, The Beatles, and Aerosmith. Garden of Hedon has sold out local theaters and performed at iconic venues like the Hard Rock Cafe and The Middle East Cafe in Boston, as well as the Sidewalk Cafe in NYC. They have supported national acts such as E'Nuff Z'Nuff and Marc Ford of The Black Crowes, with Marc joining them onstage for the last song of their set, "Love and Light," which he is also featured on in the studio recording of the upcoming Garden of Hedon album, "Forbidden Fruit." Also guesting on the new record is fellow Black Crowes alumnus Isaiah Mitchell (of Earthless). The band has released two singles from "Forbidden Fruit" on all major streaming platforms, receiving high praise from outlets like Classic Rock Magazine and LouderSound. "A Shadow of Time" and "(With My Lover) On a Summer Day" showcase the yin and yang of this outfit's eclectic blend of rock 'n' roll influences. "On a Summer Day" has been featured on many international radio programs, including Sirius XM's "Little Steven's Underground Garage." Currently, the band is booking and performing live shows while writing songs for their next record. This summer, they will return to Leesta Vall Studios in Brooklyn, NY, for their second "Direct to Vinyl" recording session, the first of which sold out in less than 12 hours.
