New York, NY (Top40 Charts/ Saul Zonana Official Website) Early raves have coincided with the release of songwriter/guitarist/producer Saul Zonana dramatic 'Fix the Broken,' his tenth studio album. Veteran journalist Jack Goodstein, in his lengthy Blogcritics write-up, said certain tracks had "a bit of a
Beatles vibe," while others "had the feel of an old time rocker." Other critics have praised Zonana's "amazing guitar work," stating that he evokes
Lenny Kravitz and other superstar artists.
The confident mix of old-fashioned rock and progressive pop sounds manages to be both a throwback and thoroughly modern, as Zonana's virtuoso guitar work and inventive instrumentation propel the ten-song collection forward. The album was released digitally on July 31st, with brick and mortar distribution set for October 2nd. Listen to a streaming audio sampler, here: https://soundcloud.com/saul-zonana/sets/

Zonana, a guitarist and bassist from New York who is now based in Nashville, plays 95% of the sounds on the new album, and even uses his guitar to create most of the keyboard and synth sections heard on 'Fix The Broken'. He has been described as a guitar 'wizard', and the attached round-up provides an instrument-by-instrument breakdown of the nine+ guitars Zonana plays on the upcoming release, from a Jerry Jones Electric sitar to a Moog to a Taylor 8 string baritone acoustic and many more…
Zonana is a respected musician with a decades-long career - past collaborations include No Heroes and Luv Junkies, a stint in KISS guitarist Ace Frehley's touring band, guitar work with Adrian Belew,
Crash Test Dummies and much more.
