In Their Words: “Since moving to Nashville, I’ve had the opportunity to collaborate with some incredibly talented folks. Having just put out my debut record, Road to Nowhere, getting the chance to share some of my journey through music with AEA and play a bit of the album live with Brandon Bell in the room, who was absolutely so instrumental in helping to bring this record to life, was truly a one-of-a-kind experience.” – Zach Meadows
“Brandon Bell had worked on Zach’s album and recommended him for this session. I looked Zach up online and couldn’t find much info about him. This was our last session that day and the sun was setting and starting to throw some weird shadows in the room (you can see them in the video). We mostly wanted to get through it and go to dinner. Then Zach started performing and it was like time stood still. His authenticity and talent left us all speechless.” – Julie Tan, AEA Ribbon Mics
