The three-set night will include a robust and eclectic repertoire including Rezak’s original music and notable covers of the legacy acts the featured artists have performed with. Rezak reveals, “We have a very exciting show in store for everyone who loves music. I’m most excited to perform the music of Zappa, The Doors, and Pink Floyd with original members of their bands at such a legendary and iconic venue in LA. Sharing the stage with Felix Pastorius performing the music of Weather Report and his father, the great Jaco Pastorius, is going to be an absolutely incredible honor. I’ll be debuting some of my new original music and you never know who else might show up. This is sure to be a volcanic eruption of musical talent across the board with members of celebrated musicians from around the world.”
Of the new material being debuted will be Rezak’s upcoming single “Not Forget the Love,” coming out that same day via Color Red. Recorded at Violet Recording in Boulder, CO during a winter 2022 mountain run, the song featured Russ Lawton (Trey Anastasio Band) on drums, Zdenek Gubb (Twiddle) on bass, Bill McKay on keyboards, and Melanie Sponselee on background vocals. The tune was inspired by being on the road as a full-time touring musician and everything that comes with the journey. It expresses the importance of keeping truth, music, beauty, and grace in all we bring to the table of life. “Through our journey in life, we may lose sight of our progress as well, which is important to feel success in hard work,” says Rezak, “By keeping love as a focal point, we reach a greater realization of what is possible in humans’ everyday lives.” The track can be pre-saved here.
