Tommy Zvoncheck & Jon Anderson Collaborate

TOMMY ZVONCHECK TEAMS UP WITH YES’ JON ANDERSON FOR CONTROVERSIAL NEW
SONG!
For Immediate Release

As the 2008 Race for the White House heats up, keyboardist Tommy
Zvoncheck – in a collaboration with Yes vocalist Jon Anderson – makes
sure the Florida voting scandal of 2001    is not forgotten. This
piano ballad, “Rain In Florida”, is also filled with optimism for the
2008 elections.

This song is one of two bonus tracks (the other is a piano
improvisation) for the remastered, re-release of the critically
acclaimed album “ZKG”. This version will also contain new cover art
and new liner notes. The album will also be available for download.
“It’s been 7 years since I put ‘ZKG’ out,” Zvoncheck said. “A lot of
things have happened and the music industry has changed considerably.
When I first put ‘ZKG’ out, MP3’s and downloading were not as
commonplace as they are now, so the album really had limited exposure.
For some reason my CD caught the ears of some people albeit 6 years
after its release. It got me an offer to play with Ritchie Blackmore’s
band Blackmore’s Night, an opportunity to work with Jon Anderson of
Yes, and the opportunity to produce 3 tracks for Taz DiGregorio of The
Charlie Daniels Band.

“The CD caught the interest of ex-Steppenwolf keyboard player Goldy
McJohn which led to an invitation to participate in the All Star Jam
at NAMM or 2007. That combined with a “thumbs up” from the legendary
Spencer Davis who I worked with in 1990,and I was ‘in’. Apparently I
did a good job; I ended up playing the whole show for the simple
reason I knew all the songs. I was invited back in 2008 as “musical
director”, and was instrumental in organizing the show with promoter
David Harris. I will be doing a ‘three-peat’ in 2009.”

The album’s tentative release date is June 16, 2008. Excerpts from the
two bonus tracks can be found

Currently based in the Tampa Bay area of Florida, keyboardist (and
sometimes guitarist and bassist) Zvoncheck has played with Blue Oyster
Cult, Aldo Nova, Johnny Rotten’s Public Image Limited (P.I.L.),
Clarence Clemons, Spencer Davis, Fernando Saunders, and many others.

Zvoncheck is also hard at work on the album’s follow up, which should
hit the streets by the end of the year.
