Welcome to Zen Chefs web site. This web site showcases the music of Zen Chefs featuring: John Guadagni, John Spreier, and Steve Smith. It also features pictures of Zen Chefs. Zen Chefs have released one album to date including: Original Recipe.

In the beginning of 1992 John Spreier formed a trio called Zen Chefs with John Guadagni on drums, John Spreier on vocals & guitar, and Steve Smith on vocals & bass. The band blended reggae and rock with a solid bass, strong harmonies, and the foundation of Guadagni. The music abruptly ended when the witch kicked John Spreier out of the house and all of them out of the barn they were practicing in. John Spreier got the equipment out of the barn with the help of a sympathetic police officer in South County but it was all over for the band. The barn that they were rehearsing in is the origin of the name Barnyard Sounds. The neighbors used to say that there were sounds coming from the barn.
