Hey everyone!
Kicking off the month of June with an all new edition of Artist Spotlight. This week, we travel down to Hartford, CT and check out the reggae infused sounds of Z-Train. The band consists of Don C. and Sparkles on lead vocals, Ken on lead and rhythm guitar, Mike on rhythm guitar, Kyle on bass, Jeff S. on drums and backup vocals, and Drix on vocals and keyboards. The band has a pure, mellow reggae sound with obvious Bob Marley influences and an emphasis on getting the listener to relax and chill out to experience the full wave of relaxing melodies that are omnipresent throughout all of their songs. There is something about these guys that seems so pure and unadulterated that everything else pales in comparison. Alot of times, upstart musicians experiment with other genres such as funk and hip-hop, and it's alright to experiment with those genres sparingly, but other times musicians experiment way too much with other genres that the real musical message gets lost in the music and becomes difficult to decipher what the artist is trying to convey to the listener. These guys aren't like those artists and have a raw, dynamic sensibility to them that will carry them a long way in their careers. A great upstart act with plenty of potential for success in the future. Some recommended tracks for you to check out include "She Loves Me Not" and "Secret Admirer".
