Welcome to Zenyatta.live

A common love for the music of The Police is what brought three of Vancouver’s top musicians together to form Zenyatta.

Acclaimed bassist and vocalist Nathen Aswell, alongside Andreas Schuld (guitars) and Phil Robertson (drums, percussion) have teamed up to bring some of the greatest rock music ever written back to the live stage with their high‑energy, 90‑minute celebration of the hits that made The Police one of the biggest bands of the 1980s. More than a simple tribute, Zenyatta captures the essence of The Police’s sound while adding their own improvisational fire and raw energy, creating a live experience that is as authentic as it is electrifying.
