Hey all, I've finished my Recording Tour of Love, visiting all 48 continental US states to record music with everyone I know and lots of people I didn't! I'm still in the editing/mixing phase of the project. When I get done, expect lots of new songs, and lots of very fresh sounding old ones.

Multi-instrumental singer/songwriter/producer Zach Bardon incorporates Americana, jazz, folk, Motown, flamenco, blues, and a variety of world influences into songs which at heart are just good pop tunes, creating an overall style he likes to call "cosmopolitan pop."

	Out to Sea The "sea shanty" from my Recording Tour of Love. Still not finished mixing but wanted to put something up. :)		Sea Shanty
	Laundromat Lament I wrote this song in a laundromat. Or I would have, if I ever went to laundromats.		Singer/Songwriter
	You Were My Sunshine (Part 3) A little gem from the Recording Tour of Love, featuring delta blues guitarist Brad Tretola.		Bayou Blues
	Intermission While traveling through Chicago on my Recording Tour, I found a disgustingly out-of-tune Steinway grand piano on a seminary campus. It called to me. "Zach," it said, compellingly. I had no choice but to record this off-center old-timey two-beat stomp on it.		Vintage Blues
	The Reason (A Grown Man Cries) The "cowboy campfire song" tradition is huge and wonderful. I wanted to write a song in that tradition, so... I did! I must admit that I love that romanticized ideal of a small group of rugged men relaxing around a campfire after a hard day's work, singing absolutely heartbreaking songs.		Old-time Country
	Django Fête A Gypsy jazz tune in the vein of Django Reinhardt.		Jazz
	Sunlight "Obnoxiously happy" Zydeco/oldies pop with a hint of flamenco. If the Beach Boys grew up in Louisiana maybe they would have recorded this song.		Pop
	My Oxygen Ode to an important chemical element.		Folk/Acoustic Rock/Americana
	I Still Love You A song about believing Fate's intentions were not to punish you with love lost, but rather to test you with love temporarily withdrawn.		Pop
	Missin' You A Minneapolis-meets-Nashville tune that just popped out one day.		Folk/Acoustic Rock/Americana
	Don't Tell My Heart An emotive acoustic ballad about leaving.		Folk/Acoustic Rock/Americana
	Let Me Be A song about the inability to forget.		Folk/Acoustic Rock/Americana
	Watching the Streetlights A song about life, and living it while it lasts.		Pop
	I Won't Run Far This is probably my fiercest song.		Alternative Indie Rock
	I Choose to Lose Of karma in relationships.		Folk/Acoustic Rock/Americana
	A Day is Comin' Southern rockabilly meets the Negro spiritual. A happy union results.		Folk/Acoustic Rock/Americana
	Sorry A sad story.		Pop
	Inescapable A reflective number about persistent love.		Folk/Acoustic Rock/Americana
	A Frock You Ban I just got my first bass! This is my first recording with it, all first takes, no editing. ...Ok guys, so I played acoustic guitar for a few years first. It doesn't totally suck. The artist has designated this song as non-chartable.		World Jazz
	Vista 1 A piano stream of consciousness to test some recording equipment. :)		Easy Listening/Soft Rock
