Jan Zverina (yon ziv'ree’na) grew up in New York City, spending part of his adolescence sneaking into venues such as the Fillmore East and Madison Square Garden to see Jimi Hendrix, George Harrison (Concert for Bangladesh), the Grateful Dead, Humble Pie, Led Zeppelin, and more. At 15 he attended the 1969 Woodstock festival – that time he bought a ticket but nobody cared! Jan’s musical influences include the aforementioned, as well as Lyle Lovett, Bonnie Raitt, Alison Krauss, Mark Knopfler, Blind Faith, Little Feat, and many others.

While in New York Jan was in several bands and music projects, including a longtime collaboration with singer/songwriter Michael Sarcona which continues to this day. After moving to San Diego in 2004, Jan joined Slippin and helped produce their 2013 album, Energy Medicine. In 2015 Jan helped form Clear Blue Skies, and in late 2019 co-produced their eponymous album followed by Fork in the Road in 2024.

Jan is currently working on his fourth album, due in late 2026. Jan's second album, Clarity, was released in March 2023, following Density: Then & Now  in 2021. His latest album, ‘Verity’,  was released in June 2025 and includes a wide variety of original songs plus two bonus tracks featuring Jan's guitar collaborations. He enjoys playing a wide assortment of guitars which includes a 1968 Fender Telecaster that found its way back home after being out of Jan's possession for over 35 years!
