SAD DAD, performing original sad dad hits and new wave tributes live.

Join us for a special SAD DAD live show.

Sad Dad is the evocative new project from East Los Angeles native singer-songwriter Robert Zardeneta, who returns to music after years away with a deeply personal and unflinching sound. A product of the renowned L.A. music scene of the late 80’s and 90’s, Zardeneta reemerges following a life-altering divorce, channeling heartbreak into a powerful debut collection of “Sad Dad” songs. Blending indie, alternative, dark wave, jazz, and soul influences, Sad Dad crafts a moody, genre-bending sonic landscape that is both intimate and haunting. Performing as Sad Dad and Friends, the project will debut live with a dynamic solo acoustic set of post-punk and dark wave classics alongside original “Sad Dad” material, backed by standout East L.A. musicians Jaime Horta (drums), Juan Quintero (guitar), and Esmeralda Castaneda (bass).”
