The Zentner Brothers were a rock band that came into being from one mother and father in the early seventies. They played to the end of the decade in the original configuration of the five oldest brothers. They wrote their own music and went on an unscheduled tour for two and a half years across the United States. This is the music that survived. Some are live amateur recordings in clubs and some were recorded in the studio.
