For singer-songwriter Zane Vickery, nothing remains hidden from view—no matter how deep the wound. For Vickery, the more he can convey the reality of his own experiences and emotions (including the darker shades involving pain, sorrow, and frustration), the greater the possibility of reaching someone in a similar place.
In this episode, Vickery talks about his views on vulnerability in songwriting and how they played into his song, “Whatever Light We Have.”
Press Release
Independent artist Zane Vickery brings hope into our season of despondence with his debut LP, Breezewood. Produced by Brendan St. Gelais ( Corey Kilgannon, Carver Commodore, McKenzie Lockhart) and mixed/ mastered by Chris Bethea (Penny & Sparrow, Sleeping At Last), this freshman effort showcases Zane as both a poetic songwriter and a powerful musician.
Zane’s debut album, Breezewood, is a story of stories. It’s been infused with nostalgia and hope. Inspired by points of intersection between Zane’s life and Lewis’s mythic Narnia, the songs illuminate a world filled with grace and wonder. Running on an engine of piano and powerful vocals, the songs mark childhood’s passage into the adult world of dangers and opportunities alike. With the lyrical energy of a stage musical, the melodic hooks of 2010’s power pop, and the narrative scope of an epic, Breezewood is a music fable. It begs to be heard and leaned into.
