Sonoma County, CA. ~ Song after song on Zach Hammer’s CD entitled, “Turn To Light” sounds like something you would hear on FM radio. All 8 tracks contain lyri- cal imagery and stellar gui- tar-playing by Hammer. The catchy chorus in, “Half A Mile Away” feels familiar as an old classic; however, in re- ality this is off of Hammer’s most recent release. “In This Dark Your Love Shines” has an epic quality like a rock an- them in the making. “It’s more than the dark that clouds the sky tonight. Oh, we wait so long for changes, oh we wait so long,” croons Hammer. “This Amazing Now” featur- ing horns reminiscent of the
band Chicago. The CD has an all-female horn section on that track; including Jane Fos- sgreen, Sarah Moore and Ella Steinberg. Fans will recognize long-
time Sonoma County resident, Hammer from bands he has been in; Strangewood, Five AM and The HOTS.
The
“Turn To Light” CD high- lights Hammer’s career as a solo artist with Jed Friesen on Drums and Percussion and Mike Sugar on Bass. “This new album brings together de- cades of musical exploration, and chronicles a transforma- tive love,” ZachHammerMu-
