It\u00a0features 10 brand-new tracks \u2013 a combination of newly-penned Zippers songs, along with a few tunes from past times \u2013 and has received acclaim from fans and critics alike.<\/p>\n \u201cThis new album was inspired by all of the mysterious characters from the history of New Orleans jazz music,\u201d said band leader Jimbo Mathus. \u201cIt speaks to the hidden roots of where our aesthetic, interests, and philosophy comes from.\u00a0 It pulls on the hidden thread.\u201d<\/p>\n Prior to\u00a0Lost Songs of Doc Souchon<\/em>\u00a0, their most recent studio album\u00a0Beasts Of Burgundy<\/em>\u00a0was released in 2018 and debuted at #4 on the Billboard Jazz Albums Chart upon its release. It was back in 1998 when SNZ released their first and only Holiday album titled\u00a0Christmas Caravan<\/em>, which went on to sell a quarter of a million copies and reached #12 on the Billboard Holiday Albums chart.<\/p>\n SNZ began their musical journey in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, in the mid 1990s, as a musician\u2019s escape from the cookie-cutter world of modern rock radio at the time.\u00a0Mathus, along with drummer\/percussionist Chris Phillips, formed the band as a casual musical foray among friends and family in the area.\u00a0 It wasn\u2019t long before the band\u2019s quirky mix of jazz chords, folk music, and punk rock leanings spread out of the region and attracted a national audience.<\/p>\n Since reactivating in mid-2016, SNZ have been performing to packed houses across the country and around the world.\u00a0 As Mathus has said since the band\u2019s re-launch, \u201cit\u2019s not a reunion, it\u2019s a revival.\u201d<\/p>\n Official tour dates for SNZ\u00a0Holiday Caravan<\/strong>\u00a02021<\/strong>\u00a0tour are as follow:<\/p>\n *Dates subject to change.<\/p>\n
