Balancing Act - EP1: Bar Crawling
"That title is really long. What's up with that?"
Great question. My newest musical adventure was to make a concept album that chronicled my life as a musician who became a 4th grade teacher, who became a lawyer for abused children, who got burnt out & quit his day job to make music for a living. That's a lot to pack inside of one album. Rather than release one, dense as hell, album I've decided to make 2 EPs that can be played back to back. When played back to back they make a complete concept album, but they can also be played independently to tell a shorter story. It's really all about how you would like to take it in. EP2 comes out in 2019.
"What does 'Bar Crawling' Mean?"
I started off playing every bar in Texas before I found myself taking the Bar Exam to become a lawyer. Next thing I knew I was crawling out of the profession. Admittedly, this may only make sense to me...
"amazing songs with great vocals and guitar work" - Bob Levoy of Oasis Entertainment
Porcelain - My 1st #1 indie single!!
The 1st song I wrote after quitting my lawyer day job.
A song about dating a co-worker. As a lawyer I can tell you that this is a bad idea.
But I married her...so...
- Zak has a great voice and he makes every song his own...This amazing album was well written, performed, recorded and produced. You will definitely want to add this album to your music library.
-Oasis Entertainment reviewing "Nowhere, New Mexico."
Zak's 1st album featuring songs inspired by growing up in the deserts of New Mexico. Look for: Come Get Me Smile, Hard to Catch, Cheshire Smile, & Red Light Paradise.
