when I wrote this a couple weeks ago, I was just trying to find a way to process my friend leaving town— preemptively missing her and also rooting her on.  though however much I felt, my pal, gal petel, has been feeling infinitely more deeply.  I asked him if he’d want to record this with me — he agreed, as long as we could just do it live.  

today, we release the recording of “changing of the seasons” , a longing for a past future, a call to the unknown, a desire to hold and be held, of momentary beauty, of loss.  it is not lost on me the process of creation of this piece is near both the autumnal solstice and yom kippur / rosh hashana, the jewish new year.  

for those who are called to listen, I invite us into this new season with tender hearts, compassion, and a gathering of this summer’s harvest before a fallow winter, a season of rest.

Changing of the Seasons (featuring Gal Petel)

Inspired by the dance floors of Los Angeles and the vulnerability of singer-songwriters, Zach shares his music as an offering to deep dive within ourselves and dance to a place of joy.

Originally from Kansas, Zach moved to Los Angeles in 2017 with a business degree and a laundry list of accomplishments to make his mother proud.  Since then, he has toured the world as tour manager for now A-List artists, developed an alter ego as a drag queen, and started a songwriters open mic where he hones his craft performing new songs each week.

Zach continues to write, record, and collaborate with fellow writers, producers, and musicians.  Thanks for listening.  More on the way!
