Zack Smith is fairly new to Sonoma County having moved here about four years ago. He is, however, well connected to the music scene. Zack founded the band Scandal in the 80's featuring singer Patty Smyth and songs written by the man himself. His new project is Wundercat who are starting to make the rounds at local venues. He sat down with Brian to talk guitars, John McEnroe, and songwriting in advance to Wundercat's appearance at Hopmonk Sebastopol.
David Luning is a familiar fixture in Studio A. He finally has a new album coming out. "Lessons" was recorded in a Petaluma barn -the "most magical place" according to David. We preview some tracks from the release and David plays a couple live as well.
Lila Forde, like Brian, is a native of Seattle. She's soon to release a new album "Vessels" which was entirely funded by family and fans. After moving to L.A. she was discovered by a scout from the TV show "The Voice" and finished in the finals joining John Legend for a song broadcast to millions. In the midst of a West Coast tour Lila brought her bandmates to Studio A for a session.
