Zadra Guiding Star CD

Zadra is a continuation of the label's relationship with the talented guitarist/vocalist August Zadra, who the label has worked with as a member of Waiting For Monday and Dennis DeYoung's band. Zadra's debut album, "Guiding Light" is the start of a new band centered around the talents of August, a Los Angeles based singer and guitarist.

"Guiding Light" is a compelling collection of hard hitting rock songs and ballads that feature his powerful and emotional vocals as well as his fiery guitar playing.

The album was produced by the multi-talented Alessandro Del Vecchio (who added multiple instrumental and songwriting contributions) and features Jeff Scott Soto (background vocals and a songwriting contribution on "Take My Hand"), Dennis DeYoung (keyboard solo on "Take My Hand"), Jelly Cardarelli (drums), Jimmy Leahey (acoustic guitars on "A Matter of Yesterday"), Andrea Seveso (additional rhythm guitars on "Won't Let Your Love Take Me Down"), Martin Jepsen Andersen (who contributed to the songwriting and additional rhythm guitars on "Escape The Rain"), and Guillermo De Medio, Pete Alpenborg, and Jan Akesson (who all contributed to the songwriting and additional keyboards as well).
