Your Friendly Neighborhood will be opening
Doors at 18:30_BIO_
_Zach Winters is a naturalist—his work and life often woven
together. Winters’ songs resonate with the sacred and the
commonplace—companionship, wrestling with the divine, passing
seasons, and the pursuit of a tangible beauty. His music has more
kinship to the poetry of Frost and Tagore than to his contemporaries._
_His debut, A Long Intermission, was recorded simply in his bedroom
and released in 2004 mostly to friends and family. But over the years,
Winters has honed his songwriting and DIY approach, garnering praise
from voices like Paste Magazine and self-producing five full-length
albums as well as a handful of EPs and other projects._
_Winters’ efforts have most recently culminated in a more luxuriant
variety of indie-folk on his new crowd-funded record, To Have You
Around. The 12-track album features everything from generous string
arrangements to groovy bass lines to his first foray into horns, and
most notably, Winters’ yearning, gentle, and sometimes playful vocal
layering. Sweet companion, break bread with me / We’ve miles to go,
let’s hold steady intones Winters in a refrain that’s equal parts
affection and meditation. Songs like the title track “To Have You
Around” and “Knock Kneed & Lead Lunged” find a comfortable place
in the canon that is Winters’ brand of smooth, organic folk, while
head-bobbing songs like “Love My Woman” and “If the Sun Is
Shining” echo the days of summer._
_In the last few years, Winters has been on tour throughout the US,
Canada, Australia & New Zealand, musically migrating with his family
and playing shows with Josh Garrels, Johnnyswim, Holly Arrowsmith, A
Boy & His Kite, Tow'rs, Will Reagan, Aaron Strumpel, & others. He has
had the honor to sing for Syrian refugees, laboring mothers, orphans
in Mexico, and his friends, neighbors and family._
_Born on the Great Plains, Zach Winters and his family are currently
living & working on a new album in southern Mexico._
