Artist History
To truly appreciate the evolution of any music scene is to embrace the talent that consistently emerges there, year after year. Denver has long been a city with a scene whose potential has yet to be fully recognized. A scene that has not had one real band that could capture the Denver sound, break out and make the world take notice.
That is until now… Ladies and gentlemen, we introduce to you, The ZEN BARONS.
Touted as one of Denver’s brightest and most promising new bands, The Zen Barons effortlessly combine their own brand of melodic rock with elements of acoustic and ambient spirituality. Soulful and sounding, The Zen Barons paint us a picture of life’s many ups and downs with a rare and beautiful rawness, both recorded and live. All seasoned musicians in their own right, The Zen Barons have collectively found the key to setting themselves apart from all the rest. Let us take just a moment to introduce them to you.

Group Members
Scott Hadden- Lead Vocal / Guitar/ Songwriter
A Colorado native, Scott has spent years developing a sultry, yet assertive vocal style that is truly all his own. As the front man for several Denver bands including RETURN TO ZERO, LURE and WESTBOUND 70, Scott has had the opportunity to showcase both his extraordinary singing and songwriting capabilities. But, within The Zen Barons, Scott has found an unparalleled chemistry and melding of musical ideas, and in the process… he has found his true “voice.”
Mike Fackler- Lead Guitar/ Vocals/ Songwriter
With a blues-flavored modern rock style cultivated in the clubs of the West Coast, Mike Fackler provides The Zen Barons with their “edge.” As a former member of bands N.U.M. and Cherrywood, this talented axe man has been “around the block” and opened up for many national acts including MEGADEATH, ENDO, SALIVA and DISTURBED. A hard-hitting precision player, Mike is truly a gifted professional whose talent shines through – both on and off stage.
Scott Cooley – Bass/ Percussion/ Keyboards
A boy straight from the Mississippi bayou, Scott Cooley, or “Cooley” as he is known within the band, is the latest edition to the Zen Barons lineup. Cooley is one of those rare musicians that possesses not only boundless musical ability, but also extreme versatility. With rich, textural bass lines he provides a full-bodied roundness and tangibility to The Zen Barons sound. A former member of VOODOO BROWN and Soulbrew, Cooley is also a talented keyboardist/percussionist making him a true musical chameleon and welcome addition to the band.
Jay Ruybal- Drums/ Percussion
A solid and methodical drummer, Jay Ruybal successfully combines a background in jazz-fusion stylings with pure rock sensibilities. His style is deeply creative and interesting, and his experience with complex and intricate drum patterns is obvious. Jay takes an open-minded and refreshing approach to his playing - making him one of the most talented and capable drummers in music today. His talent and contribution to The Zen Barons is immeasurable and his incredible personality comes through loud and clear. He is, in a word, amazing.
