care factor zero
        CFZ has been entertaining Massachusetts audiences since 1999.  Some members have changed over the years yet one thing remains the same, the dedication to putting on a great Rock show. CFZ takes your favorite classic rock, modern rock , R & B and  funk rock and squishes it all around until it regurgitates into a fun, smooth and tasty musical nectar.
         
CFZ can entertain all ages, as a cover/original band exploring new musical avenues all the while keeping you dancing and having fun. Combining the bombastic ivory tinkling of Brett, the driving backbeat of rhythm section Colin and Steve,  and Mike’s vocal acrobatics and steady guitar work, CFZ remains one of Cape Cod’s most diverse and popular musical entities.

CD 2 was co- produced by respected rock producer Chris Lannon. Mike also Produced, engineered and co-wrote all the songs on an early CFZ release "Simmer Down". Mike has performed countless shows all over New England with both BT and CFZ and his other band Big Rhythm Wine.

Pokey is a veteran of the Cape Cod music scene having started out as a member of The Suspects as well as Club Sandwich. He also was an original member of care factor zero 1.0 waaay back in 1999. After a couple of years hiatus to join the Peace Corp, Pokey, in a bloodless coup, has returned to his rightful place upon the CFZ Bass throne. Colin is a NY native who traveled to Cape Cod and became a regular on the music scene. The Natives and Cease Fire were both hard working bands between 1987-2001. Prior he played in NY with Ambush and since has drummed for Boston's Flash Mob. Brett honed his keyboard skills as the leader of Boston based band The Kind. He has been playing clubs all over CT and Massachusetts for many years. He is just as at home tinkling Ivory piano notes as he is wailing B3 organ sounds.
