Zander is an Americana singer-songwriter and entertainer from Saint Paul, Minnesota. Picking up the guitar at 13 years old in 2007, Zander hit the ground running in this musical career. The first time he hit the stage with a full band was just a mere 8 months after his first ever guitar lesson. From learning the ins and outs of DIY shows with his high school punk band, to entertaining audiences of 500+ people on a weekly basis with his college cover band, to landing opening slots for National Touring acts such as Deanna Carter and Clay Walker, Zander is comfortable with stages and audiences of all sorts of sizes and energy levels. Literally anything from small cafes to the U.S. Bank Stadium where Zander and his wife sang the National Anthem for a crowd of 17,000, Zander is no stranger to any sort of show that gets tossed his way. By mid 2026 Zander has performed over 3,000 shows over the course of his career.

Currently working as a full-time gigging musician, you can find Zander playing solo shows all around the U.S., performing with his wife under the name Beyond The Trees; touring heavily with his good pal, Heartland Country artist, Clayton Ryan; rocking festival stages with his Nashville based country/rock group, Russ Parrish & The Lone Oaks, and filling in on guitar for various artists across the Midwest, including Frankie Torres (NBC The Voice season 26) and Cindy Jo (American Idol season 14)
