“Sunsets & Summertime” is a feel-good roots rock celebration of everything we love about the season: grilling out, road trips, mountain views, lazy mornings, and the joy of being with the people who matter most. Released just in time for the summer solstice, the track blends classic Americana grooves with brass-laced warmth and heartfelt vocals to create a breezy, nostalgic mood.

With a solid rhythm section laid down by Mike Lomax (drums) and Wim Becker (bass/guitars), the song is brought to life by a vibrant horn trio — Matt Allen (trumpet), Zach Craigle (saxophone), and Kevin Tall (trombone) — adding soulful punch and a touch of vintage charm. Zak Davis' vocals are earnest and comforting, grounding the track in both emotional sincerity and laid-back cool.

Whether you’re on the back porch with friends or setting out on a weekend getaway, “Sunsets & Summertime” captures that timeless seasonal magic — equal parts road trip playlist, backyard soundtrack, and love letter to long days and golden evenings.

Lyrics:
Been stuck inside all winter long
But now the birds are singing
On a Saturday morning
And the heat beats like a drum

Can’t wait to fire up that grill
With the beer on ice
The shade feels nice
For some summertime chill

Pack up your bags we going to hit the road
Check out a town we never been before
We could ask the locals what they like to do
Or stay in bed and sleep all afternoon

-Chorus-
Your loving’s like the summertime
As long as I got you, I’ll be just fine
Sunsets & Summertime
Like you It’s always on my mind

Let’s hike up to the mountain tops
Stare at the stars when the skyline drops
Friends and family gather at the camp
The fire lights our memories like the perfect lamp

-Chorus-
Your loving’s like the summertime
As long as I got you, I’ll be just fine
Sunsets & Summertime
Like you It’s always on my mind

Sunsets & Summertime

Indie Alternative Rock Reggae Ska band from Layton, Utah  

Z Frequency is a genre-blending band that defies musical boundaries, mixing rock, reggae, ska, and alternative into a one-of-a-kind sound. Our story begins with Zak Davis, inspired by Oingo Boingo and Danny Elfman’s iconic vocals. Since teaming up with Matt Allen in the ’90s, we’ve been crafting music through projects like Catfische and Hoo Ray Who?, leaving our mark on the Utah music scene.  

Z Frequency emerged from Zak’s vision, evolving into a band backed by talented musicians and fresh collaborations on every track. L-Town Magazine calls us "a kaleidoscope of sound that transcends boundaries"—a description we wear proudly.  

Outside the band, Zak and Matt host the ZHZ Podcast, where they spotlight DIY artists and share insights into the music-making journey.  

Catch us live in 2025 and stream our new EP release ‘Re-Gen’ now.  

Let the frequencies flow.
