The Zãþþã Éårlý Rênáissánçê Ørçhêstrå is based in the Seattle area and was formed in 2012 as a result of a joke and a challenge between two old Squirrels involving Frank's music and the ukulele. The first gig was booked before the band had a name. (Just the idea of this particular music being performed on the ukulele that seems to make people start to laugh.) The membership of Z.É.R.Ø. is variable, ranging from a live trio to a virtual 17 piece band in the studio. The instrumentation is an ongoing experiment. Z.E.R.O.'s primary mission is experimentation and entertainment.
