MUMBAI: Guitarist/singer/songwriter Zach Caruso has launched his new website which will offer viewers a variety of information about the new, young artist. The site, http://www.zachcaruso.com, includes a biography and news updates, photos, video, and listings of upcoming performances, as well as streaming audio clips of Zachs music. In addition, the site will also feature merchandise including t-shirts and stickers.
Viewers can also visit Zachs MySpace page for more information at http://www.myspace.com/zachcarusomusic.
The 22-year-old south Jersey native began playing and writing music at an early age, and pulls from a wide-range of influences to create his own eclectic style. His passion for music and penchant for variety has led him to incorporate acoustic, electric, and slide guitar-infused melodies with strong vocals and mature songwriting to produce a sound that stands out among his peers.
Zach also just wrapped up the recording of five new songs. These five tracks, plus four more songs recorded in late 2007, will appear on his new album Body and Soul, slated for release in October of this year. The album will be on sale at http://www.zachcaruso.com.
The nine songs comprising Body and Soul will also be available for individual download on ITunes and MSN Rhapsody, as well as http://cdbaby.com/cd/zachcaruso
New Music Video
In early March, the music video was released for Zach’s controversial new single Jesus Walks,… a song that brings to light the record-high homicide rates in Philadelphia.
Shot on location in Philadelphia, PA, the video was filmed and directed by Zach’s longtime friend Brad Kingett, owner and operator of the video production company Risen Industries http://www.myspace.com/risenindustries.
In addition to the music video, there is a two-part behind-the-scenes documentary called Rain On A River: The Making of Jesus Walks…, which chronicles the making of the music video, as well as the story behind the song itself. The documentary includes interviews with Zach, Brad Kingett, and on-set photographer Scott Donovan, as well as never-before-seen footage and photos from the shoot.
Both the official Jesus Walks… music video and the two-part documentary Rain On A River: The Making of Jesus Walks are available to view on Zach’s MySpace page (http://www.myspace.com/zachcarusomusic)
