The Zach Pietrini Band Holding Onto Ghosts
Description
These free-wheelin' Indie Americana country rock songs blend the rebellious honky-tonk of the Bakersfield sound with today's southern rock. Zach Pietrini's laidback, charismatic vocals seal the deal with earthy plain-speak about both good and bad times and how both can make you wanna drink.

Track Listing
Celebrating life with the joy of dancing. Foot stomping and hand clapping jubilee led by voice, harmonica, electric guitar and piano. Fun breakdowns with drum, bass and acoustic guitar at :48 and 2:29 are useful for transitions and exciting build ups.
One or more shots set to a country blues with saloon piano providing the backdrop for this broken hearted man to numb up his sorrows. Great for breakups, disastrous house remodeling and your favorite team's defeat.
Old school country with crying pedal steel guitar tells the woes of one who can only learn the hard way. Soul searching solo at 2:40 brings this story to a teary peak. A heartfelt tip of the hat to the Nashville and Bakersfield sound of the 50s and 60s will keep you parked at your bar stool for hours.
A haunting ethereal tale of hope and dreams disappearing. Tremolo guitar playing sad minor chords with disturbing dominant seventh chord turnarounds let you know things are quite wrong. Soaring guitar solo at 2:17 let's loose like only a Strat can.
Strong determined song about life on the road to pursue your dreams and the costs it has. Beautiful piano and steel guitar intro with the band kicking in at 1:12.
Classic southern rock with a funky shuffle beat to get things moving one way or another. Electric piano and punchy overdriven electric guitar provide a driving funky attitude.
The opening catchy hook of this resolute and sad reality song has you glued to the story. Sometimes you have to move on and the sooner you do things can heal. Holding onto ghosts.
Loving, open arms await to welcome you home. No matter what's going on in your life there's a country song to match your mood. Vocals, classic Nashville steel guitar and singing electric guitar trade licks in a joyous outro that kicks in at 3:33.
Hooky sing-along about the frustrations of everyone getting famous but me. How many free gigs? Fun filled with satire and free beer for the band. Strummy lazy groove with harmonica, Hammond organ, acoustic and electric guitars.
