New York City’s worldly and blues driven artist, Zack Glass, set to release his sophomore CD “Southern Skies” globally on White Collar Records.
New York, NY (PRWEB) June 20, 2011
In June of 2011, that city so nice it had to be named twice, proudly welcomes Zack Glass’ latest endeavor, “Southern Skies.” “This is real music - music that comes from the heart and performed honestly and with passion,” says Christie Free of BreedCast.com. “Zack’s vocals and layers of instruments combine to create something both new and comfortably familiar. This is a genuine return to roots accomplishment.” Recorded in studios located from Brazil to New York to Connecticut, produced by Mick Rossi and mastered by Scott Hull, “Southern Skies” launches from Zack’s hometown of New York City. June movie-goers across the country have enjoyed a preview of Zack’s single “On My Side” as it was chosen by Landmark Theaters to be featured in their Pre-Movie Program.
Zack has performed with some of today's up and coming stars; Vampire Weekend, The National and Jazz Trumpeter Mark Rapp. He has also had the honor to share the stage with some of this century’s greatest musicians; Steve Earle, Keb’ Mo’, Patti Smith, Suzanne Vega, Al MacDowell, Andrew Sterman and Eddie Bobe.

Growing up in New York’s Lower East Side, by the time Zack turned 13, he had taken up piano and electric guitar and was beginning to write his own songs. Listening to classic rock and punk music at a young age, his taste changed when he started going through his parents' record collection and discovered an array of music including Reggae and African. After high school Zack had the opportunity to travel to West Africa and Latin America several times which greatly influenced his music. Zack has returned to the blues based music he grew up on, having explored almost every style of popular music, influenced most recently by folk, country and classic rhythm and blues.
“Zack Glass’ new CD is a welcome alternative to the assembly-line pop we've heard much too often. Mr. Glass offers very nice, textured, honest music that I recommend for the more discerning listener.” Slim Uke of Altar Call Records

Bio
Growing up in New York’s Lower East Side and coming from an artistic family, Zack Glass was exposed to a wide variety of music from an early age. By the time he turned 13, he had taken up piano and electric guitar and was beginning to write his own songs. Listening to classic rock and punk music at a young age, his tastes changed when he started going through his parent’s record collection and discovered an array of music including Reggae and African. After high school Zack had the opportunity to travel to West Africa and Latin America several times which greatly influenced his music and led him to play guitar for Reggae and African bands as well as accompanying a steel pan player from time to time. He started his own reggae band and was writing and singing his own songs, but by the end of the 90’s he started to see the limitations of Reggae and began to explore world music. Soon after, he took a leap of faith and began a solo career. Since then, Zack has explored almost every style of popular music most recently being folk, country and classic rhythm and blues. Zack has now come full circle; returning to the blues based music he grew up on. Though young, Zack has already had the honor to play with some of this century’s greatest musicians; Steve Earle, Keb’ Mo’, Patti Smith, Suzanne Vega, Al MacDowell, Andrew Sterman, Mick Rossi and Eddie Bobe. Zack has also had the pleasure to perform with some of todays up and coming stars; Vampire Weekend, The National, and Jazz Trumpeter Mark Rapp.
