Zack David’s “To: Mom” album to release on Mothers’ Day

Zack David’s “To: Mom” to be released on Mothers’ Day – May 12, 2019

After 4+ years of not officially releasing any music, I’m finally ready to release my latest album entitled “To: Mom” on Mothers’ Day as a tribute to my late mother and to all the hard-working mamas out there! Click here to pre-order (or order if reading this after May 12) or pre-save / check it out on Spotify:

I’ll also be selling good old CDs, if anyone still uses those. Let me know 🙂

You can get a sneak peak of a couple songs and also purchase/listen here:

This is my first official full-length solo album, not including some albums I released unofficially, when I was a wee little lad. This album features songs that I wrote as early as 2012, such as the title track, as well as songs that I’ve written during the recording process this year such as “Lost in the Day” and Trail Eyes” to name a couple. I almost forgot to mention that the track “Bats” dates back to circa 2007…my college years.

The album mixes traditional and modern folk techniques along with some interesting soundscapes including sound effects recorded naturally in Encinitas, CA during the recording process as you can hear on tracks such as “Trail Eyes” and “When the Winds Grow Wild,” which also includes sounds from Peru years ago.

I’m honored to have guest musicians performing on the album, as well. Ciera DeSilva performs violin on “Lost in the Day.” Alexandra “Xandra” Mason performs additional vocals on “Lost in the Day,” and “Open Road.” Martin Shaw performs violin on “Open Road,” and Colin Scharff performs trumpet on “Not Alone.”

Thank you sincerely for your support and for listening. I’m looking forward to your feedback and wishing all the mamas out there a Happy Mothers’ Day!

A little cabin time does the soul good! Ukulele by the fire in Julian, CA

A little cabin time does the soul good! Ukulele by the fire in Julian, CA

Hello friends!

My wife, Yumi, and I found a nice cabin on airbnb in Julian, CA. Our three days and two nights there were delightful – a nice mix of work and (mostly) play. We did have one particularly intense brainstorming / planning session that led me to realize that I haven’t posted here on the blog section of my website in a while! I just wanted to stop by and say hi. Oh and yes, we did have some pie! It was delicious, but I must say, Encinitas’ very own Betty’s Pie Whole is right up there with them, in my opinion!

I’ve been very busy, so I didn’t have a chance to mention that I’ve participated in FAWM (February Album Writing Month) again this year – and I made it to 14 songs…despite having only two songs done half way through the month. My SoundCloud page is well past due for an overhaul, but feel free to check it out, anyway!

Otherwise, mostly everything is the same…and continuing to grow. Don’t forget, if you or your friends or colleagues need help with custom music and/or podcast editing, I’m your guy. A custom-tailored, personal song makes for a great, unique gift – just in case you or someone you know is looking for a special gift or a business / podcast jingle.

Before I go, I’m excited to announce that Yumi is learning the ukulele…and she’s learning fast! We had some great uke time together in Julian in front of that fireplace. Let me know if you’re heading to Julian and need a place to stay – I’d love to refer you to the cabin we spent a few days at.

Ok friends – I could keep rambling forever but I think it’s time to go get a green beer from Mr. Peabody’s here in Encinitas. ‘Tis a Saint Patrick’s Day tradition, after all.

 

Be well!
