Listening To The Music

Zephaniah OHora wrote and recorded his outstanding new album, Listening To The Music, in his adopted hometown of Brooklyn, NY. This album is proof positive that great country music can come from anywhere.

Produced by Neal Casal, who tragically passed away not long after mixing was completed, the collection fuses timeless twang with modern sensibilities. It tips its cap to the likes of Merle Haggard and Gram Parsons as it explores a distinctly urban, 21st-century landscape through a classic country lens.

Zephaniah OHora is a master craftsman backed by a virtuosic band in this album. His songs absolutely crackle with electricity, moving beyond throwback revivalism to break fresh artistic ground with dazzling fretwork and dizzying pedal steel.

The result is a record all about the power of music to bind us to our past and reinvent our future. It is a lush, intoxicating celebration of melody and memory that bridges the considerable miles between Bakersfield and Brooklyn.
