What does Zach bring to The Soundpost Sessions?
Zach joins the Soundpost Session team as a talented and visionary producer, who played a significant role in the development of Jazz at The Times, and records and mixes each Soundpost Sessions show from the recording studio at Longmont Public Media. His most recent Soundpost contribution is the launch of our newest series, Stories & Songcraft, which features a performance by and crafted conversation with a professional singer-songwriter, during which guests will learn about the record making process, artistic philosophies, and how artists balance work, life and art as creative humans.

“Longmont has a rich pool of musical talent that doesn’t often get a chance to gather and share ideas and industry knowledge with like-minded creatives in the local community,” Zach says. “I hope that Stories & Songcraft provides next-tier professional development and deep artistic insight for this close-knit and promising music scene.”
The first event in the series features the professional troubadour, Alexa Wildish, who describes herself as “geographically fluid,” but has strong ties with the Colorado music scene.
