From its founding in 2006, Capital Zen has built a regional following touring all over New England. At its height, Zen was playing 50–75 shows a year, hitting stages from Boston to Buffalo to NYC and down into PA. They have shared the stage with Goose, Lespecial, CoolCoolCool, Sophistafunk, Consider the Source, Dopapod, The Rustic Overtones, Aqueous, Jimkata, and many more, and have played festivals including Camp Bisco (four years), The Adirondack Independence Music Festival, Rock the Dock, The Catskill Chill, Disc Jam, Backwoods Pondfest, Bella Terra, and others.

After a decade-plus that included four full albums and one EP, lineup changes and growing families led Zen to go on hiatus in 2018. During COVID the founding trio began to jam with additional players, a spark that led to their latest album, The Phoenix, released in 2025. The Phoenix brings a fresh twist on the Capital Zen sound, incorporating funk, hip hop, blues, prog, and pop; each song is a unique journey tied together by themes of searching, loss, reflection, joy, and rebirth.

In 2026, Zen is hitting the road to bring this new album to familiar stomping grounds. Live shows can range from an hour-and-a-half festival set of all originals, to a three-hour two-set dance party of mostly originals with unique covers mixed in, to a themed all-covers show—Capital Zen can and does do it all.
