Drawing Songs (Pre) Release Tomorrow Night 11/9 at Carrol Place, NYC
The tour is finally upon us! Tomorrow night Bob Lanzetti, Keita Ogawa, and I will be kicking it off at Carrol Place in NYC. Drawing Songs will be officially released by GroundUP Music at midnight on 11/10 and you will be able to stream it in all of its sonic glory at Apple Music, Amazon, Spotify, YouTube, and all of the other usual suspects.
Weekend Classes, Armando’s Rhumba, and a new video single
It’s getting cold up here in the Northeast. Soon I’ll be breaking out the humidifiers and resuming my quest for never-ending distilled water. This is my favorite season because it corresponds with the start of a new school year and a fresh season of learning.
Stablemates Class + Private Lessons this Saturday, October 7
I’m back in town and inspired to practice (WITH YOU)!
Join me in my practice room at noon on Saturdays as I tackle various and sundry topics that will help you (and me) develop greater freedom, fluidity, and ease, expand our repertoire, and have fun. These are play-along classes so bring your axe or your voice. They are not necessarily string-specific though I will cover tons of string-related minutiae.
Blue Note NYC 1.5.22
A couple of years ago I went into Dreamland Recording Studios in Hurley, NY (near Woodstock) with Eric Harland, Mark Lettieri, Justin Stanton, Jonathan Maron, and Nic Hard to record some new quintet music that I’d been writing while on tour with Snarky Puppy.
I’m thrilled to finally release this album in 2022 with some new tracks and a video, and I’ll share some tidbits with you as they become available.
As luck would have it we will be playing two shows at Blue Note NYC on Wednesday, January 5, 2022.
Sets are at 8PM and 10:30PM. 8PM is SOLD OUT! Tickets are going fast so grab your now at the link above.
I’m going to need some help getting this record over the finish line. I’ll let you know about some ways that you could help us next week and I’ll have some VIP offers that will include tickets to the 1.5.22 show at Blue Note as well as a chance to attend our live video shoot at Sony Hall on 1.4.22!
Zach Brock & Gyan Riley 11.17.21
I’m excited to be playing with the incredible Gyan Riley this evening in Brooklyn at Soapbox Gallery! As with all of the Soapbox performances, tickets to attend in person as well as tickets to purchase a pass for the livestream are available at the link to the right. The stream will be live and available on-demand for three days. Thanks for tuning in or stopping by. ❤️
Brock, Kikoski, Penman, and Harland on 10.26.21
As with all of the current concerts at Soapbox Gallery, you can purchase tickets to either be a part of the live audience or to stream the concert live and on-demand.
Class + 55 Bar
Open masterclasses continue every Friday in October! If you plan on attending more than one then please register individually for each class so that I can send you the dedicated private link. All players and non-players are welcome and opportunities to play for the class are scheduled on a first-come-first-served basis (usually 3-4 max). You will also receive the class recording plus any extra materials we may use.
