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 incredible keyboard sounds of Dave, 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 and New England's most diverse and popular musical entities.
