Saul Zonana with Trielement

The Empty Glass, 410 Elizabeth Street, Charleston, WV

Coming to the Empty Glass on December 3, 2016! A rock show with Saul Zonana and TriElement.

Saul Zonana, might not be a household name but you have definitely heard his work. His music has appeared on shows such as Crazy Love, Men In Trees, Party Of Five, 24, Wonderful World, Dirt, Beautiful People, Army Wives, Arrested Development, and more. Saul has toured the world with Ace Frehely, Adrian Belew (David Bowie/ King Crimson), Crash Test Dummies, and Lisa Loeb among a few. He has mixed / tracked music for other artists such as Adrian Belew, Crash Test Dummies, Blue Oyster Cult, Taylor Dayne, ATB, and many more. Musically, Saul is not defined by a particular category/ style of music. He easily crosses genres such as Indie pop, Power pop, and Progressive rock.

For TriElement, this will be our last show for 2016. We will finish out December recording on what will become a series of EP's instead of a full length album. We have some big plans for 2017. A couple short-stint tours and a lot of live dates. Stay tuned to our Facebook page and watch for future dates and other news.

About Saul Zonana:

Way back when...in Bayside Queens, NY, from the age of 3 years old, before I could actually complete sentences, I was writing songs. Here I am today with the mental capacity of a 3 year old, STILL writing songs and releasing albums. Who woulda thunk it. While a lot of the other kids were into video games, beer, and even drugs, I played many instruments, I wrote songs and recorded them. That’s really all that I cared about. Keep in mind, this was before $99 bought you a guitar and an amp, before everyone and their sister called themselves a singer, and before we celebrated mediocrity and watched shows like American Idol and The Voice. There was no internet. This was when you wrote and performed music because it took over your soul. I had to search hard for others that were equally passionate about making music. It was in my blood from the very beginning. I’ve always truly felt that creating music chose me more than I chose it. It was during those early years that my older brother turned me on to bands like The Who, Yes, Black Sabbath, Rush, The Cars, The Police and um… THE BEATLES!! That fueled my creativity in a big way. I got my hands on a basic four track tape machine, (way harder to come by in those days) and began a journey to continue creating and recording music. I released my first solo album when I was 13 years old. That’s when it REALLY started.

We fast forward…to these days, where my family and creating music is my focus. I own a full blown recording studio with every instrument and piece of gear one would ever need. Yes I'm a bit of a nerd about gear. Exploring new sounds and pulling the most out of new technology is part of the fun for me. With every recording, I try to improve my writing, the performances and the recordings themselves. I’ve released ten of my own albums, one live album and produced/worked with SO many other major and independent acts. In my solo career I've secured two major recording contracts, two major publishing deals, and have been around the world several times playing my music and music by artists that I respect. Currently I spend my time either gigging around the US, or in the recording studio making my own music and playing/producing/mixing and mastering the music of others at STUDIO Z.

Some of the highlights…include touring with Ace Frehely, Adrian Belew, Crash Test Dummies, Lisa Loeb etc...I’ve performed thousands of shows all over the globe. I even remember some of them! :) I've mixed / tracked music for other artists such as Adrian Belew, Crash Test Dummies, Blue Oyster Cult, Taylor Dayne, ATB and sooo many others it's impossible to list here. Recently toured the States and Canada for 3 months. I was in the first American band to ever play in Red Square, Moscow, in front of 70,000 insane fans. I was featured on the cover of Guitar Magazine with Carlos Santana with a full feature article inside. But here’s the weird part...TO ME IT FEELS LIKE I HAVENT REALLY DONE ANYTHING YET. THERE'S SO MUCH MORE TO DO.

Soooo...for those of you who are just now discovering my catalog of music, welcome aboard and thanks for listening. If some of these songs sound familiar, it may be that you've heard them one of the many films and tv shows they've been in, including... Crazy Love, Men In Trees, Party Of Five, 24, Wonderful World, Dirt, Beautiful People, Army Wives, Arrested Development and on and on... Or maybe you’ve heard the song “Holiday” or “Chasin’ It” on major radio stations in the past. Or maybe you've caught my band or one of my solo shows?? Anyway, it's a strange time indeed for artists like myself, but this is what I do and I always will. I don't know how do do anything else. I'm grateful for what I have and all that I've been able to do. And I'm grateful for all of you. Thanks to those who have enjoyed my music over the years. I appreciate you more than you know. Keep coming out to the shows. Keep tuning in... More music is always coming.

TriElement

Trielement began with the idea to take instrumental music, imagined with non-traditional ideas, and push the barriers of conventional music. The result is a blending blues, jazz, funk, some electronic and rock. This fusion is approachable with a tasty experimental vibe. Focused on building a strong regional following, the band spent the last several years touring and evolving its sound. Trielement has been described as a “tightly ran progressive trio” with “instrumental music that keeps your attention.” The newest, self-titled release, was recorded at Fish Bowl Recording, mixed and mastered by Aaron Fisher. This new release (2016) captures a slight change in direction but continues the musically experimental open-mindedness of the band. Trielement completed a small March 2016 tour with Neil Zaza, and as shared the stage with The Aristocrats, Sean O'Bryan Smith, and Soften the Glare to name a few.
