Zach Ashton
Written across five continents– produced in Rome, Rio de Janeiro and Nashville - “People & Places” is Zach Ashton’s most introspective, vulnerable and virtuous record to date. In mid 2014, Zach began sketching an outline for an album that would reflect his journey through a crestfallen relationship - the positive, the negative and of course, heartbreak. Early production began in Rio de Janeiro in a small apartment in Copacabana. Later that year, two songs (Shooting Stars, The Ceiling) were recorded at Rio’s Casa do Mato Studios (Ana Carolina, Milton Nascimento, Jason Mraz) with longtime friend Eduardo Andrade. Eduardo invited musicians from Zach’s previous album “The Distance Between Us” to participate in the production. These first recordings were the catalyst for “People & Places.”
