Welcome to "The Distance". Let Robin Taylor Zander lead you on a journey where music transcends time. You’ll find yourself in a place between dreams and reality… within introspective moments and distant reveries. With lush, immersive harmonies and unexpected changes, Robin delivers on guitar, drums, piano, bass, and vocals. It’s vintage pop-rock with a modern twist-- a taste of 60s British invasion, ‘70s punk, ‘80s new wave, and ‘90s alternative -- in a sonic palette that’s Robin’s own. So sit back, turn up the volume, and enjoy the journey. A career in music was inevitable for Robin Taylor Zander. It's in his heart, his soul -- and his very DNA. “RTZ,” whose father is the founding frontman for iconic Rock and Roll Hall of Fame band Cheap Trick, steps out with his debut solo album, The Distance. A versatile multi-instrumentalist, Robin is now a full-time member of Cheap Trick, a seamless utility player on guitar, bass, drums, and backing vocals. Track Listing:
