Hey all, I've recently finished my Recording Tour of Love, visiting all 48 continental US states to record music with everyone I know and lots of people I didn't! I'm now in the editing/mixing phase of the project. When I get done, expect lots of new songs, and lots of very fresh sounding old ones. Multi-instrumental singer/songwriter/producer Zach Bardon incorporates Americana, jazz, folk, Britpop, flamenco, blues, and a variety of world influences into songs which at heart are just good pop tunes, creating a style he likes to call "cosmopolitan pop."
Out to Sea The "sea shanty" from my Recording Tour of Love. Still not finished mixing but wanted to put something up. :)
Laundromat Lament I wrote this song in a laundromat. Or I would have, if I ever went to laundromats.
You Were My Sunshine (Part 3) A little gem from the Recording Tour of Love, featuring delta blues guitarist Brad Tretola.
Intermission While traveling through Chicago on my Recording Tour, I found a disgustingly out-of-tune Steinway grand piano on a seminary campus. It called to me. "Zach," it said, compellingly. I had no choice but to record this off-center old-timey two-beat stomp on it.
Sunlight "Obnoxiously happy" Zydeco/oldies pop with a hint of flamenco. If the Beach Boys grew up in Louisiana maybe they would have recorded this song.
My Oxygen Ode to an important chemical element.
I Still Love You A song about believing Fate's intentions were not to punish you with love lost, but rather to test you with love temporarily withdrawn.
Missin' You A Minneapolis-meets-Nashville tune that just popped out one day.
Don't Tell My Heart An emotive acoustic ballad about leaving.
Let Me Be A song about the inability to forget.
Watching the Streetlights A song about life, and living it while it lasts.
I Won't Run Far This is probably my fiercest song.
I Choose to Lose Of karma in relationships.
A Day is Comin' Southern rockabilly meets the Negro spiritual. A happy union results.
Sorry A sad story.
Inescapable A reflective number about persistent love.
A Frock You Ban I just got my first bass! This is my first recording with it, all first takes, no editing. ...Ok guys, so I played acoustic guitar for a few years first. It doesn't totally suck. The artist has designated this song as non-chartable.
Vista 1 A piano stream of consciousness to test some recording equipment. :)
